About this formulation

Usheerasava is a classical fermented tonic from the Bhaishajya Ratnavali (Raktapitta Chikitsa). It is built around Ushira (vetiver) with lotus, Gambhari, Lodhra, Manjishtha, Chirayata, Patola, Jamun bark, Jatamansi, raisins and honey. In Ayurveda, Ushira is classed as Sheeta (cooling), Dahaprashamana (eases burning sensation) and Pittahara (balances Pitta). The tonic is traditionally used to support comfort when the body feels hot, burning or over-thirsty, and to support Rakta Dhatu (the blood tissue). Any unexplained bleeding needs a doctor's examination.

Classical reference: Bhaishajya Ratnavali (Raktapitta Chikitsa Prakarana).

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