Product Description of Kottakkal Drakshadi Leham

Kottakkal Drakshadi Leham arrives as a smooth, luscious herbal jam, tinted a warm caramel hue and gently perfumed with the sweet-and-spicy aroma of raisin and long pepper. Crafted following time-honored Kerala Ayurvedic tradition, this lehyam is often recommended by practitioners to nurture the liver, improve digestion, and support healthy blood levels. It feels a bit like enjoying a sweet treat—yet beneath the pleasant taste lies a thoughtful formulation designed to calm occasional gut discomfort, restore vigor, and gently remove metabolic waste.

While many tonics on the market promise quick fixes, Drakshadi Leham takes a balanced path. Each spoonful brings together classic amla juice extract, warming ginger, and the depth of licorice root—ingredients that work in harmony to tone up your digestive fire without overstimulating. You might find yourself reaching for it in the morning to kickstart your day or as a soothing complement before bedtime. It’s surprisingly versatile: stir it into warm water for a tonic-like experience, or simply enjoy by itself on an empty stomach. A stray thought: sometimes I even add a pinch of cardamom powder for a little twist!

Every batch is carefully prepared at Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala, ensuring purity and consistency. No artificial colors or preservatives—just nature’s bounty simmered down to a palatable, jam-like consistency. Over time, folks have used it for mild liver complaints, to support healthy digestion, and even when few other remedies seemed to help with low energy. The texture is almost luxurious: thick, yet not too sticky, and melts instantly against the tongue.
