English Name: Drakshadi

Description:

Drakshadi is an Ayurvedic formulation primarily composed of “Draksha,” the Sanskrit term for raisins (Vitis vinifera). This herbal blend is traditionally used to address various health conditions, especially those related to the liver and digestive system. Drakshadi is available in multiple forms, including Kashayam (decoction), Lehyam (herbal jam), and Churnam (powder), each tailored for specific therapeutic applications. The formulation combines raisins with other potent herbs such as Madhuka (Madhuca longifolia), Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa), and Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), among others. These ingredients synergistically work to balance the body’s doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta, promoting overall health and well-being.
