Read our privacy policy Social media users have had a field day on an Indian food influencer’s viral Instagram recipe for a mocktail using Hajmola candy – a tangy, digestive tablet that is widely popular in the country. Nicko Demu recently uploaded a video recipe for a “Hajmola mocktail” for which he crushed about 10-15 digestive tablets and mixed them with ingredients such as mint, sugar, ice and soda. One Hajmola tablet contains “a unique blend of Indian herbs, spices and edible salts that helps with your digestion when taken after a meal”, according to a description of the product by PharmEasy. “These tablets can be very useful in cases of indigestion, loss of appetite and flatulence.” Many social media users commented on Demu’s video to say so many Hajmola tablets could cause “severe damage to your stomach”.
