Kottakkal Lodhrasavam takes its name from Lodhra, the Symplocos tree whose astringent bark Ayurveda has associated with women's wellbeing for centuries. Twenty-eight botanicals stand with it, among them Priyangu, Kushtha, Bhunimba and the three fruits of Triphala, in a blend traditionally chosen for comfortable monthly cycles and healthy Rakta Dhatu. The ending asavam distinguishes it from an Arishta: an Asava ferments from a cold infusion rather than a boiled decoction, keeping the delicate qualities of the herbs intact.
Ayurvedic Significance
Lodhra is Kashaya in Rasa with a Sheeta Virya, the combination classical authors call Sangrahi and Stambhana: it helps the tissues hold their tone and settles excess Pitta and Kapha in the Artavavaha and Rasavaha Srotas. Priyangu and Nagakesara share that cooling astringency, while Bhunimba, Katukurohini and Patha bring Tikta clarity to Rakta Dhatu. The pungent group of Chavya, Pushkaramula and Agni keeps Agni bright so the formula stays light on digestion. Honey-based Asava fermentation carries these subtle actions deep into the channels without heating the system.
Key Benefits
- Everyday women's wellness — Lodhra with Priyangu is the classical pairing for supporting the reproductive channels through the monthly rhythm.
- Comfortable cycles — the cooling, astringent herbs are traditionally used to encourage a steady, unhurried flow and ease through those days.
- Healthy Rakta Dhatu — Bhunimba, Katukurohini and Triphala are long used to keep the blood tissue clean and well nourished.
- Even, radiant complexion — Ayurveda reads skin tone as a reflection of Rakta, and this blend has a long reputation for supporting a clear complexion.
- Light on digestion — the warming aromatics keep Agni steady, so the formula sits easily even when taken over a longer stretch.

Makshika (honey) 4.114 g forms the base.

Suggested Use
Adults may take 15 to 30 ml, diluted with an equal quantity of water. As a naturally fermented Asavam, it is generally taken after meals in accordance with traditional Ayurvedic practice. Traditional households often follow it with plain warm water. For dosage and duration suited to your constitution (Prakriti), consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.

Additional Information
The name appears as Lodhrasavam, Lodhrasava, Lodhrasavamu, Lodhra Asavam or Lodhrasavan. The bark itself is written Lodhra, Lodhram, Lodh or Lodhraka, and the botanical name is given both as Symplocos cochinchinensis var. laurina and, in older sources, Symplocos racemosa. Asavam and Asava are simply two transliterations of the same Sanskrit term for a cold-infusion ferment, the final -m reflecting South Indian usage and the shorter -a the North Indian convention.
