Ashokarishtam

Ashokarishta has been used as a natural alternative to hormonal therapy for women for centuries in India. It is recommended to balance natural hormonal levels.

In Ayurveda, it is known as a natural friend of women. It is a rich source of natural calcium, so it is beneficial in menopause and osteoporosis associated with menopausal syndrome. Moreover, it is also beneficial for various gynecological problems such as excessive vaginal bleeding, pain, full menses etc.

Main Ingredients of Ashokarishta 

The main ingredient is Saraca Indica, also known as the Ashoka tree. Its bark is used for manufacturing Ashokarishta. Other important ingredients are black cumin, red sandalwood and Cyperus Rotundus.

Pharmacological action of Ashokarishtam as described in Ayurveda

As per Ayurveda sciences, Ashokarishta is astringent and anti-hemorrhagic. Many studies suggest that it has a great impact on hormone levels and maintains the natural balance of women's hormones.

Therefore, it is extensively used in traditional medicines in the management of hormonal problems such as polycystic ovarian syndrome and infertility due to hormonal imbalances. It helps maintain natural levels of estrogen and progesterone.

Ashokarishta is also a good source of natural minerals that keep bones intact. It helps to prevent the loss of mineral bones, so it is beneficial in cases of osteoporosis.

Moreover, Ashokarishta has analgesic properties and natural spasmodic action, so it is mostly prescribed in cases of dysmenorrhea (Painful menstruation). As it balances hormonal levels, it is sometimes used in irregular periods as well.
