Shankh Vati is a classical Ayurvedic herbo-mineral tablet (vati) built around Shankha Bhasma (incinerated conch-shell calx) together with a Trikatu base and digestive salts. It is classically described in Ayurved Sar Sangrah as a Deepana–Pachana (Agni-kindling and digestion-supporting) formulation. As a preparation containing purified mineral Bhasma, purified mercury (Kajjali) and Shuddha Vachnag, Shankh Vati is meant to be used strictly under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic physician.
About Shankh Vati Tablet
Few classical digestive vatis are as well known in Indian households as Shankh Vati — also written Shankh Bati, Shankhvati or Conch Vati. The formula takes its name from Shankha, the conch shell, which Ayurveda processes into a fine Bhasma and classifies among the Sudha Varga (calcium-bearing) drugs.
This is an own-brand 60-tablet pack (net 50 g), an Ayurvedic medicine developed and marketed by Riddhish Herbals and prepared for us by our contract-manufacturing partner under Ayurvedic licence GA/447 — so the finished medicine carries a documented composition and batch trail. It belongs to the same classical lineage stocked by leading Ayurvedic houses, prepared here to a label-verified standard.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
In the classical literature, Shankha Bhasma is valued as a premier Deepana (appetiser), Pachana (digestive) and Amlapittahara (acidity-balancing) mineral drug. The Riddhish label cites Ayurved Sar Sangrah as its textual reference; the same formula is recorded in Bhaishajya Ratnavali, Agnimandya Rogadhikara (verses 182–183) and the Ayurvedic Formulary of India (AFI, Vol. 1).
The herbs around the Bhasma serve the same purpose. Shunthi (dry ginger), Maricha (black pepper) and Pippali (long pepper) form Trikatu, the classical trio repeatedly described by Charaka and Sharangdhara for kindling Agni. Hingu (asafoetida) is the textbook Vata-anulomana anti-flatulent. Chincha Kshara (tamarind alkali) and Panch Lavan (five salts) complete the Deepana–Pachana action.
On the label, Shankh Vati is classically indicated — per Ayurved Sar Sangrah — in Ajeerna (indigestion), Adhman (flatulent distension), Udarshoola (abdominal colic), Grahni (malabsorption / altered bowel habit), Parinamshoola (post-digestive pain) and Atisara (diarrhoeal disturbance). These are classical textual indications, not a promise of a cure.

Research & Scientific References
Shankha Bhasma has been the subject of published pharmaceutical characterisation work. A PubMed-indexed standardisation study of incinerated conch shell (Xancus / Turbinella pyrum) documented its conversion from the aragonite form to calcite calcium carbonate, reported heavy-metal content within the limits checked, and recorded an acid-neutralising (antacid) capacity under laboratory conditions.

These findings describe the raw mineral ingredient under study conditions, not this finished pack, and are shared for information only. Individual results may vary. Use under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic physician.
How to Use & Anupan
As directed by a qualified Ayurvedic physician. In classical practice, Shankh Vati is taken as 1–2 tablets, once or twice daily, before or after food. The traditional anupan (vehicle) is ushna jala (warm water) or takra (buttermilk), chosen by the physician to suit the person and complaint. Do not exceed the dose advised to you.
Who Can Use It
Meant for adults using it under qualified Ayurvedic supervision. It is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation, or for children, because it contains purified mercury (Kajjali) and Shuddha Vachnag. Those managing high blood pressure should use it only on a physician's advice, as it contains Panch Lavan (salts). Anyone on regular medication or managing a health condition should consult their physician before use.
Safety Information
This is a classical herbo-mineral (Rasaushadhi) medicine containing purified mercury (Kajjali) and Shuddha Vachnag (purified aconite). It must not be self-prescribed or taken at doses higher than advised. Natural herbo-mineral products may change colour over time; this does not affect the medicine when stored correctly.
