1. since chirayta is bitter in taste thus useful in conditions like fever, constipation, upset stomach, loss of appetite, intestinal worms, skin diseases, and cancer and is used as a "bitter tonic.”
2. Do not use chirata if one is pregnant or breast-feeding or he/she has intestinal ulcer.
3. The appropriate dose of chirata for use as treatment depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other condition. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important, Consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.
