Contraindications for Buttermilk

तक्रनिषेधः

Despite its numerous benefits, buttermilk is contraindicated in certain conditions: It should not be given in Ushna Kala (hot season/summer), to persons suffering from Kshatakshina (debility from chest injury/tuberculosis), in states of Daurbalya (extreme weakness), during Raktapitta (bleeding disorders), and in Murcha (fainting/syncope). It should not be used after Virechana (purgation therapy) immediately. Sour buttermilk should be avoided in Pitta predominant conditions and in hot climates. These restrictions ensure that buttermilk, though highly therapeutic, is used appropriately according to the patient's condition, season, and constitution. Verses 21-24.
