About this formulation

Chandanasav is a classical fermented tonic from the Bhaishajya Ratnavali. It is built around Chandana (Santalum album, sandalwood) with Mustaka, lotus, Lodhra, Manjishtha, Raktachandana, Chirayata, Yashtimadhu, Rasna, Patola and raisins. In Ayurveda, Chandana is classed as Sheeta (cooling), Dahaprashamana (eases burning sensation) and Mutrala (supports urine flow). The tonic is traditionally used to support urinary comfort and to balance Pitta. Burning urination with fever, blood in the urine or back pain needs a doctor's care.

Classical reference: Bhaishajya Ratnavali (Mutrakrichra / Pittaja Chikitsa Prakarana).

Can I take this on an empty stomach?
No. It is highly recommended to mix it with an equal amount of lukewarm water and consume it after meals.

What is Chandanasav used for?
Classical Chandana (sandalwood) Asava, a cooling tonic traditionally used to support Mutravaha Srotas (the urinary system). It works best as part of a consistent routine; ask a qualified Ayurvedic physician about your own needs.
