About this formulation

Saraswatarista is a classical fermented tonic from the Bhaishajya Ratnavali, named after Saraswati, the goddess of learning. It is built around Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) with Shatavari, Haritaki, Ushira, ginger and other herbs. In Ayurveda, Brahmi is classed as Medhya (supports the mind and memory). The tonic is traditionally used to support Smriti (memory), Dhi (focus), Vak (clear speech) and a calm mind, and to balance Vata. It contains naturally generated alcohol, so it is not suitable for children without a doctor's advice.

Classical reference: Bhaishajya Ratnavali (Rasayana / Medhya Chikitsa Prakarana).

No. It is highly recommended to mix it with an equal amount of lukewarm water and consume it after meals.
