Arishtam and Asava - Authentic Ayurveda Formula

Asavas and Arishtams are unique herbal formulations in Ayurveda, unlike those found in any other herbal tradition. They are prepared using a specialized combination of numerous herbs that undergo a meticulous process to extract their full properties into a liquid form.

Asavas and Arishtams provide ideal support for individuals with weak digestion, difficulty absorbing nutrients, or the presence of ama (undigested food mass) in the digestive tract. No matter how appropriate a prescribed herb might be, its benefits will be limited if it is not properly absorbed. Certain tonic herbs, such as ashwagandha, may also present challenges in absorption due to their heavy nature.

These formulations are crafted with a variety of herbs to address different health conditions. They may include tonics like ashwagandha and bala, herbs for mental wellness like brahmi, and herbs specific to women's health such as aloe (kumari). Their subtle yet effective action makes them particularly suitable for supporting the mind and nervous system, especially in conditions associated with Vata dosha (nervous agitation). These formulations are typically consumed in small amounts.

Tri Health Ayurveda is among the few companies that offer a comprehensive range of Asavas and Arishtams prepared in the traditional way by one of the most respected Ayurvedic manufacturers in Kerala, India.

Arishtams are made from herbal decoctions, while Asavas are derived from fresh herbal juices. This method of preparation preserves the potency of the herbs indefinitely and enhances their absorption. The heating and stimulating effects of these formulations help to dispel internal chill, strengthen metabolism, and improve circulation.

Most importantly, Arishtams are known for their ability to ignite the digestive fire (Agni) and increase appetite. A strong Agni helps destroy and digest ama (toxic accumulations) and allows the herbal components of the Arishtam to perform their specific actions effectively. This gives Arishtams an advantage over many other rejuvenates, which may not be as easily assimilated by those in need of their benefits.
