Arishtas & Asavas

Asavas and Arishtas are specially prepared Ayurvedic medicines. While Asavas are made using herbal juices or herbs soaked in water, Arishtas are prepared by decoction. Both Asavas and Arishtas are liquid in nature, have a sweet taste, a smell similar to that of alcohol and acquire strength with time.

Arishtas are mainly used as a remedy for arthritis, allergy, anaemia etc. and Asavas find use as a cure for bronchitis, cough, rickets etc. Examples of Arishtam are Dasamoolarishtam, Aswagandharishtam, Balarishtam, and Saraswatharishtam.
