Dabur Pudin Hara is a fast-acting Ayurvedic mint remedy, in a handy 10 ml bottle, taken to relieve stomach ache, gas, acidity and indigestion. Built on concentrated peppermint (Pudina), it brings a cooling, settling effect to an upset stomach. Traditionally it is used to support:

• The quick easing of gas, bloating and stomach ache
• Comfort from acidity and indigestion after a heavy or troublesome meal
• A settled, cool, comfortable stomach

Pudin Hara is built around the concentrated essence of peppermint, one of the most settling herbs for the stomach. Its makeup is simple:

• Pudina Satva (concentrated peppermint essence, Mentha piperita), the cooling, carminative active
• Purified water and a small amount of alcohol as the base

Peppermint has long been treasured for calming the digestive tract, relaxing the gut and easing trapped wind, which is why this concentrated mint drop works so quickly and gently.

Easing gas, bloating, acidity and stomach ache is exactly what Pudin Hara is made for. Peppermint is a classic carminative, helping relax the gut and release trapped wind, while its cooling nature soothes the burning discomfort of acidity. This makes it a handy quick fix after a heavy, spicy or rich meal that leaves the stomach feeling heavy and gassy. It works fast and gently, which is why it is a household favourite. For frequent, severe or persistent digestive trouble, or any with significant pain, see a doctor.

Pudin Hara is concentrated, so it is taken in drops, always diluted in water:

1. Adults: a quarter to half a teaspoonful.
2. Children: 8 drops up to a quarter teaspoonful.
3. Mix your dose into 4 to 8 teaspoons of water before taking it.

Take it when digestive discomfort strikes. Always dilute before use rather than taking it neat, and follow the label, particularly the children's dose. The 10 ml bottle is handy for the bag or pocket.

Pudin Hara works through the cooling, carminative power of concentrated peppermint. In Ayurveda and in modern understanding, peppermint relaxes the smooth muscle of the gut, which helps release trapped wind and ease cramping, while its cooling nature settles the heat and burning of acidity. So a few diluted drops quickly calm a gassy, bloated, over-full or acidic stomach. As the gut relaxes and cools, comfort returns fast. This quick, gentle, settling action is why Pudin Hara is such a trusted reach-for digestive remedy.

Pudin Hara mainly settles aggravated Pitta and Vata in the digestive system. Peppermint's cooling nature soothes the heat and burning of aggravated Pitta, which underlies acidity, while its carminative, gas-relieving action calms the trapped wind and bloating of disturbed Vata. This dual soothing effect is why it works so well for that gassy, over-full, acidic feeling. By cooling and settling the gut at once, it helps the stomach return quickly to comfort after a flare-up, suited to gassy, acidic tendencies.

Yes, Pudin Hara contains a small amount of alcohol as the base that carries and preserves the concentrated peppermint; the amount actually taken is tiny, since the dose is only drops in water. It does include a children's dose (8 drops to a quarter teaspoon, well diluted) and has long been a gentle family remedy, but always dilute properly, keep to the smaller children's amount, and do not exceed the label. Those who avoid alcohol entirely, parents treating very young children, and pregnant or nursing women should check with a pharmacist or doctor first.

Pudin Hara is generally well tolerated as an occasional digestive remedy, but a few points apply:

• Always dilute it in water before taking; do not take it neat.
• It contains a small amount of alcohol; those who avoid alcohol, and pregnant or nursing women, should check first.
• For children, use the smaller dose, well diluted, and follow the label.
• It is supportive care; frequent, severe or persistent digestive trouble, or significant abdominal pain, should be assessed by a doctor.

It is an everyday digestive remedy and is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease.
