Product Description of Kottakkal Asokarishtam
Kottakkal Asokarishtam is an age-old Ayurvedic arishtam— a fermented herbal tonic revered for womens health, particularly in gynaecological care. Ive always found it fascinatiing how the sweet tang of jaggery blends with subtle herbal notes, giving it a warming, slightly sharp taste (some call it acquired!). This tonic naturally generates 5-10% alcohol during fermentation, acting as a solvent for releasing active phyto-compounds from bark, roots & flowers
Formulated by the renowned Kottakkal Ayurveda lineage, Asokarishtam is classically indicated for heavy menstrual bleeding and dysmenorrhea. But, truth be told, many practitioners recommend it more broadly—for mild bleeding disorders such as nosebleeds or mild hemorrhoids.
It also finds supportive use in cases of low appetite & mild indigestion, fevers with lack of strength, and general inflammation. Remember, it's not a quick fix; its action is subtle, unfolds over weeks. Patients usually see improvements in cycle regularity and relief in discomfort within 1-2 months of consistent use.
Despite its potency, this tonic is generally well-tolerated. If you feel a bit dizzy or heartburn, take it with little water or milk. And as always, speak with an Ayurvedic doc to tailor the dose. There's a warm humanness to Asokarishtam—it feels like a friendly, old-fashioned remedy that travelled centuries just to help you find balance.
