Drakshadi Phanta is mentioned in Astanga Hridaya Chikitsasthana for Chardi. Garbhini Chardi is one of the Garbhopadravas caused due to Vatavaigunya leading to Agnivaishamya. The drugs here are having Deepana, Pachana, Vatahara, Chardighna, Grahi & Sheeta Veerya properties, may be beneficial to control Chardi. Vomiting in pregnancy is seen mainly due to metabolic disturbances and also due to carbohydrate starvation. The metabolism & absorption of medicine in Phanta form starts from the mouth itself because of presence of glucose, Fructose etc. Draksha is Deepaka, Pachaka, Ruchya Rasayana, Hrudya with Madhu and Sita helps correcting the metabolism and supplementing carbohydrates also.
