Ayaskriti is a classical Ayurvedic fermented preparation traditionally used to support healthy metabolism and weight, and to support the body in Kapha- and metabolism-related tendencies. Built on a blend of warming, digestive, metabolism-supporting herbs, it is traditionally valued for supporting healthy weight management and balanced metabolism. It is intended as supportive, traditional care alongside, not instead of, medical advice for conditions such as diabetes.

+What is in Ayaskriti?
Ayaskriti is a fermented herbal preparation with a broad blend of warming, digestive, and metabolism-supporting herbs in a jaggery base.
Warming spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and long pepper
Vijaysar (Pterocarpus marsupium), Kutaja, and Vidanga
Khadira (Acacia catechu), Chitraka, and other bitter, metabolism-supporting herbs
Dhataki and jaggery to support the natural fermentation
It is a self-fermented preparation, traditionally infused in iron ("ayas") vessels.
+How does Ayaskriti support metabolism and weight?
Ayaskriti is traditionally used to support healthy metabolism and weight through its warming, digestive, bitter herbs, which are traditionally valued for kindling the digestive fire, supporting the body's handling of fats and sugars, and helping balance the Kapha tendency toward heaviness and sluggish metabolism. Herbs like Vijaysar are classically associated with supporting healthy sugar metabolism. The aim is gentle, supportive care for metabolic balance and weight, not a treatment for diabetes or obesity, which are medical conditions needing a doctor's care.
+How do you take Ayaskriti?
The suggested use is about 10 to 15 ml twice daily, usually after food and often diluted with an equal amount of water, or as directed by your physician or Ayurvedic practitioner. A few pointers:
Diluting with water is traditional and gentler on the stomach.
Use it consistently as part of a healthy diet and active lifestyle.
Shake gently before use, as natural sediment can settle.
This bottle contains 450ml. A practitioner can tailor the dose to your needs.
+Can Ayaskriti be used for diabetes or obesity?
Traditionally, Ayaskriti's herbs are associated with supporting healthy metabolism, weight, and sugar handling, which is its traditional basis. However, diabetes and obesity are medical conditions that require proper diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment, including diet, activity, and any prescribed medication. Ayaskriti should be seen only as supportive, traditional care used alongside, not instead of, that medical care, and those with diabetes should use it under medical supervision and keep monitoring their blood sugar. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
+Which dosha does Ayaskriti balance?
Ayaskriti is especially used to pacify aggravated Kapha, the dosha Ayurveda links to heaviness, sluggish metabolism, and excess weight, while its warming, digestive herbs also support Vata-related weak digestion. By kindling the digestive fire and supporting metabolism, it addresses the Kapha-predominant tendency toward weight gain and metabolic sluggishness. Those of a fiery, high-Pitta tendency, or with acidity, should use the warming formula mindfully and under guidance.
+Does Ayaskriti contain alcohol or iron?
Ayaskriti is a traditional fermented preparation, so it contains a small amount of naturally self-generated alcohol from fermentation. Its name ("ayas" meaning iron) also reflects that it is traditionally prepared in iron vessels, giving it a traditional association with iron. Because of the self-generated alcohol and jaggery, those who avoid alcohol, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or manage diabetes or a liver condition should consult a practitioner first. Take it diluted with water in the recommended dose, under guidance.

+Are there any precautions with Ayaskriti?
Ayaskriti is a traditional fermented preparation, but a few important cautions apply. Anyone with diabetes should use it only under medical supervision, keep monitoring their blood sugar, and never replace prescribed medication. Because it contains self-generated alcohol and jaggery, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, avoiding alcohol, or with a liver condition should consult a practitioner first. Those on medication should check with their physician. Take the recommended dose diluted with water. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
