Asava / Arishta

At Vaidyaratnam Oushadhasala Pvt Ltd in Alappuzha, Asava and Arishta are traditional Ayurvedic fermented preparations renowned for their therapeutic benefits. These formulations are crafted by dissolving suitable sugar substrates like jaggery, sugar, or honey in a decoction (Kashaya) or juice (Swarasa) and allowing them to ferment naturally in airtight containers. The fermentation process is enhanced by the addition of the flower Dhataki (Woodfordia fruticosa) and a blend of spices and herbs, including cardamom and cinnamon, which impart a soothing flavor. The active ingredients in the herbs dissolve in the liquid, naturally extending the shelf life of the medicine. The self-generated alcohol present in Asava and Arishta facilitates quick absorption and efficacy of the medicine within the body, promoting faster relief without inducing addiction.
