Asava Arishta
Ayurvedic Asava and Arishta: Nature’s Potent Elixirs
What Are Asava and Arishta?
Asava: These Ayurvedic medicines are prepared through natural fermentation using herbs, water, and sugar. Unlike Arishta, they do not involve the preparation of decoctions.
Arishta: These special Ayurvedic concoctions are made by soaking herbs (either in dry powder or liquid form) in a solution of jaggery or sugar. They undergo a process called Sandhana kriya (fermentation), which generates alcohol—a natural preservative.
Method of Preparation:
Arishta:
Coarsely powder the mentioned herbs or drugs (Yavakuta churna).
Prepare a decoction (Kashaya/ kwatha) from these herbs.
Strain the decoction and keep it in a fermentation vessel.
Dissolve jaggery, sugar, or honey (as per the formula) separately, boil, filter, and add to the vessel.
Add fine powders of other herbs (Prakshepa Dravyas) and Dhataki Pushpa (if included).
Seal the vessel with an earthen lid and place it in a heap of paddy for consistent temperature during fermentation.
After the specified period, strain, mix sediments, and bottle the liquid.
Asava:
Similar to Arishta, but no decoction is prepared.
Dissolve jaggery or honey, boil, and filter.
Add fine herb powders directly to the jaggery solution.
Seal the vessel and follow the same fermentation process as Arishta.
Benefits:
Efficient Extraction: Fermentation enhances the extraction of phytochemicals from herbs.
Improved Absorption: Ayurvedic Asava and Arishta aid better absorption and drug delivery.
Long Shelf Life: These formulations have no expiry and are believed to be more beneficial when aged.
Remember, incorporating these ancient elixirs into your wellness routine can bring harmony to mind, body, and spirit!
