Ashokarista

Ashokarista is a classical Ayurvedic fermented herbal tonic, traditionally used for various female reproductive and menstrual health concerns. Its key uses include:

• Irregular menstruation — helps regulate menstrual cycles.
• Excessive menstrual bleeding (Menorrhagia) — helps reduce heavy or prolonged bleeding.
• Painful periods (Dysmenorrhea) — supports relief from lower abdominal pain and cramps.
• Leucorrhea (excessive white discharge) — helps manage excessive vaginal discharge.
• Weak uterine tone — supports healthy uterine muscles and normal reproductive function.
• Digestive sluggishness related to gynecological issues — mild carminative and digestive stimulant action.

• Adults (women): 15–30 mL once or twice daily, preferably after meals.
• Route: Oral; take directly or mix with an equal amount of lukewarm water.
• Duration: Often used for 2–3 menstrual cycles or as directed by a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.

Special Considerations:

• Adolescents: May be used under qualified supervision at adjusted doses.
• Pregnancy: Not recommended during pregnancy due to its uterine effects.
• Breastfeeding: Use only under supervision if needed, for postpartum support.

Ashokarista combines herbs that provide uterine tonic, astringent, mild anti-inflammatory, and digestive stimulant effects:

• Saraca indica (Ashoka tree) is the main ingredient; it helps maintain uterine tone, reduces excessive bleeding, and supports balanced menstrual flow.
• Woodfordia fruticosa supports natural fermentation and contributes mild astringent properties.
• Terminalia chebula, Terminalia belerica, and Phyllanthus emblica (the Triphala combination) aid gentle detoxification, digestion, and overall health.
• Nigella sativa, Cyperus rotundus, Mangifera indica, and Zingiber officinale enhance digestion, relieve bloating, and reduce discomfort.
• Adhatoda vasica and Berberis aristata add mild anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits.
• Pterocarpus santalinus and Nymphaea lotus help soothe and calm the reproductive system.

Together, these herbs help regulate the menstrual cycle, reduce excessive bleeding, tone the uterus, and support digestive balance.

• Absorption: Herbal actives are absorbed through the GI tract; natural fermentation enhances availability.
• Distribution: Acts locally on the reproductive system and provides systemic support for digestion and metabolism.
• Metabolism: Metabolized in the liver and gut.
• Excretion: Non-absorbed residues pass through feces; metabolites are excreted in urine.
• Onset: Therapeutic benefits develop gradually with consistent use over 1–3 cycles.

• Pregnancy: Not recommended during pregnancy due to its potential uterine-stimulating effect.
• Lactation: Generally mild but should be used only if prescribed by a qualified practitioner.

• Primary: Ayurvedic Uterine Tonic & Menstrual Regulator
• Subclass: Classical Arishta (fermented polyherbal preparation)
