Not advised for this age

Agnisandipan Ras is not recommended for children below 5 years of age due to its strong herbo-mineral ingredients. It should only be used if specifically prescribed after proper evaluation. For more details, you can book a one on one consultation.

In this age, generally children learn a lot of new things, that is why their attention is diverted from food. If their weight is in the normal range, then do not worry at all, just keep in mind that if they eat less food, it should be nutritious. Still if you want to give something as a digestive or appetizer just add black salt, hing or ajwain to their food ,fruits or salads in any edible form

It’s common for toddlers to have fluctuations in appetite, especially around 18 months when teething, minor illnesses, or developmental changes like increased activity or asserting independence can impact eating habits. Regarding Agnisandipan Ras: Agnisandipan Ras is a classical Ayurvedic formulation used to improve digestion and appetite by enhancing Agni (digestive fire). However, it contains metals like mercury (Parada), sulfur (Gandhak), and other ingredients not recommended for children under 5 years old unless prescribed by an Ayurvedic pediatrician (Baalrog specialist).
