The Sitaram Ayurveda product world
Classical Ayurveda organises its preparations by form, each with its own method of making and its own place in the tradition. The Sitaram Ayurveda range follows these classical categories, offering a product world that reflects more than a century of Kerala craftsmanship. Here is an overview of the forms you will find.
The classical forms
- Thailams (herbal oils): classical oils prepared by infusing herbs into an oil base, long associated with the Ayurvedic practice of Abhyanga (the traditional oil ritual).
- Kuzhambus: a Kerala speciality, these are traditional herbal oil preparations known for their concentrated, carefully cooked character.
- Kashayams (decoctions and tablets): herbal decoctions prepared by simmering herbs in water, available in traditional liquid form and as convenient tablets.
- Arishtams and Asavams (fermented tonics): classical preparations made through natural fermentation, a time-honoured Ayurvedic method that gives them their distinctive nature.
- Gulika and Vati (tablets): traditional Ayurvedic tablets, a compact form of classical herbal preparation.
- Choornams (powders): finely prepared herbal powders, one of the oldest and most versatile forms in the tradition.
- Ghrithams: classical clarified-butter preparations, made by the traditional method of processing herbs into ghee.
- Lehyams (Rasayana): traditional herbal preparations of jam-like consistency, belonging to the classical Rasayana tradition of rejuvenative preparations.
- Capsules and softgels: classical formulations offered in modern capsule and softgel forms, for ease and convenience in daily life.
- Proprietary formulations: Sitaram Ayurveda's own physician-led preparations, developed within the classical tradition.
A tradition in many forms
Each of these forms has its own history and its own way of being made, yet all share the same origin in classical Ayurveda and the same devotion to quality that has defined Sitaram Ayurveda since 1921. Whether you are new to the tradition or already familiar with it, the range offers a way to bring the classical rhythm of Ayurveda into daily life.
