Ayurvedic Formulations: Classical Poly-Herbals of Kerala
In the traditional Kerala Ayurvedic lineage, single herbs are rarely prescribed alone. Poly-herbal formulations combine primary active therapeutic plants, synergistic bio-enhancers (Yogavahi), and digestive harmonizers to ensure complete absorption without side effects. Explore the classical Kashayams, Ghritams, Arishtams, and Tailams that form the backbone of our hospital care.
The Master Formulations of Kerala
Key poly-herbal medicines prepared strictly according to Sahasrayogam and Ashtanga Hridaya classical recipes.
Mahatiktaka Ghrita
The sovereign formulation for chronic skin diseases, psoriasis, autoimmune liver inflammation, and deep tissue Pitta heat. Infused with over 30 bitter botanicals (including Saptaparna, Katuki, and Neem) simmered into grass-fed cow's ghee to cross cellular lipid membranes.
Dhanwantharam Tailam
The classic panacea oil for all Vata disorders, neurological trauma, spinal disc degeneration, and postpartum recovery. Cooked with Bala root, Dashamoola, and cow’s milk through 16 stages of reduction to lubricate desiccated joints and tone motor nerves.
Chyawanprash Rasayana
The legendary 5,000-year-old anti-aging adaptogen. Fresh wild amla berries simmered with 48 rare forest botanicals, bamboo manna (Vanshlochan), raw honey, and spices. Boosts respiratory immunity, preserves lung elasticity, and enhances vital Ojas.
Sahacharadi Kashayam
The premier decoction for lumbar sciatica, spinal disc bulges, varicose leg heaviness, and tremors. Prepared from Strobilanthes ciliatus (Sahachara), ginger, and cedar bark to relieve mechanical nerve compression and lower limb stiffness.
Draksharishtam
A bio-fermented cordial made from black raisins (Draksha), jaggery, cinnamon, and Woodfordia fruticosa blossoms. Naturally generated micro-ethanol acts as a rapid carrier, promoting digestive assimilation, nourishing red blood cells, and relieving chronic debility.
