A classical decoction in tablet form

Rasnairandadi Kashayam tablets carry a classical formulation into a convenient daily tablet. A Kashayam is a traditional water decoction of herbs, and this recipe brings together botanicals long named in the classical texts, among them Rasna (Pluchea lanceolata), Eranda (castor), Bala (Sida cordifolia), Sahachara (Nilgirianthus ciliatus), Dushparsha (Tragia involucrata) and Shunti (dried ginger). Compressing the decoction into a tablet keeps its synergistic character while making daily portions simple. Sitaram Ayurveda has prepared such formulations in Kerala since 1921.

How the tradition describes it

Classical Ayurveda places this blend among the Vata-focused preparations and includes it within routines connected with movement and with post-activity care. Vata is one of the three Dosha, the functional principles the tradition uses to describe rhythm and balance. The texts speak of Rasna, drawn from the rhizome, in relation to suppleness within the frame of the body, and of Eranda in relation to the gentle clearing of the channels. The language throughout is the qualitative, constitutional language of Ayurveda itself rather than any claim of outcome for a part of the body.

Placing it in the daily routine

Traditionally the tablets are taken on an empty stomach with lukewarm water, before food. Classical guidance favours steady, routine use.

  • Adults: 2 to 3 tablets twice daily, before meals.
  • Children: 1 to 2 tablets twice daily, with practitioner guidance.

An Ayurvedic practitioner can adapt the amount to the individual. This is a food supplement and is not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Keep out of the reach of young children.

Common questions

Why choose the tablet over the liquid decoction?

The tablet holds the classical recipe in a stable, measured form that is easy to carry and to take at the same time each day.

How does it fit a daily routine?

Classical practice weaves it into Dinacharya, the ordered daily rhythm, with regular use before meals rather than occasional use.
