###Human: Is it advisable to take Kalarchikai choornam for irregular periods? ###Assistant: Hi. Kalarchikai is a herb to manage PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease). Its botanical name is Caesalpinia bonducela. Its seed is used for medicinal purposes. You can prepare at home by Kalachikai seeds or churnam. Before starting medicine once you should check out your USG abdomen to rule out PCOD and thyroid profile to rule out hypothyroidism. Take 2 to 3 grams of Kalarchikai choornam twice a day after meals with warm water. You can also take it as ayurvedic preparations available like Kokilakshakam kashayam or Vati.
