Topic: Have a half cup (a table spoonful) of panchamrutha as soon as pooja is completed in the early morning.
Myth: It contains banana / curd (yogurt) / milk / honey / ghee which are rich energy source and hence cause increase in stomach acidity.
Reason: Overnight during our sleep all the food taken during the previous day is all digested and by the time of breakfast in the morning the stomach is empty for more than 3 hours. There would be a good amount of gastric acid produced in the stomach without any food to act upon. This means the stomach is highly acidic than normal. In case of few people they should be able to sustain this acidity but in few cases it will result in heartburn.
As we know milk / curd very rich in calcium and always know for soothing the heartburn issues.
The other ingredients banana / honey adds coating on to the esophagus ensuring there would be no damage done to it by the stomach acids. Also the fiber content in banana facilitates the movement of the content present in stomach further into the intestine.
Ghee is an excellent option for those suffering from digestive issues like ulcers or acid reflux. It is an excellent ingredient to balance excess stomach acid and repair the mucus lining of the stomach.
Thus a table spoon / half cup of pancha (5 ingredients) amrutha (nectar of immortality) cleans the stomach and ensures best digestive power for the entire day.
