Devanagari Name: चन्दनासव
English Name: Chandanasava
Description:
Chandanasava is a traditional Ayurvedic fermented liquid (Asava) formulation primarily used for urinary disorders, kidney health, and digestive issues. The name Chandanasava comes from its key ingredient, Chandana (Sandalwood – Santalum album), which is well-known for its cooling, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties.
This herbal tonic is prepared using natural fermentation, which enhances the bioavailability of its medicinal compounds. It contains a blend of ingredients such as Sandalwood, Pashanbheda (Bergenia ligulata), Musta (Cyperus rotundus), Dhataki (Woodfordia fruticosa), and Draksha (Vitis vinifera). Together, these herbs help in soothing the urinary tract, reducing inflammation, and improving kidney function.
Chandanasava is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine for treating urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, burning micturition, and bladder disorders. It also helps regulate body heat, making it useful for conditions caused by excess Pitta dosha, such as excessive thirst, acidity, and inflammation.
Additionally, it has mild digestive, diuretic, and detoxifying properties, which help cleanse the body and improve overall metabolism.
Due to its natural cooling action, Chandanasava is ideal for individuals suffering from heat-related ailments. However, those with severe Kapha-related disorders or chronic cold conditions should use it cautiously, as it may increase mucus production.
