Kerala Ayurveda
Lohasavam by Kerala Ayurveda is the classical fermented tonic prepared with traditionally purified Loha (calcined iron) alongside the Trikatu spices, the Triphala fruits, Vidanga and Chitraka. It is traditionally taken to nourish the blood, to kindle appetite and digestion, and to support steady energy and a warm, healthy complexion, especially where tiredness and paleness appear together. The name comes from Loha, iron, its defining classical ingredient.
Ayurvedic Significance
Ayurveda regards a strong Rakta Dhatu (blood tissue) as the seat of colour, warmth and vitality. Purified Loha is the tradition's foremost blood-nourishing mineral, and the asava fermentation pairs it with Deepana (fire-kindling) herbs so that digestion can turn the nourishment into tissue. Warm and clearing, the formula supports the blood without dulling the appetite.

Steady energy: valued where tiredness, weakness and paleness appear together.
Digestive fire: the warming spices kindle appetite and ease heaviness after meals.

Additional Information
Also written as Lohasava, Lohasavam or Loha Asava. The word Asava (Asavam) denotes a self-fermented tonic prepared from fresh infusions, as distinct from an Arishta, which is fermented from a decoction. These are simply different transliterations from Sanskrit and the regional languages of India for the same classical preparation.
Lohasavam, by Kerala Ayurveda, is a classical Ayurvedic fermented tonic that is a rich source of herbally processed iron (loha), traditionally used to support healthy blood, energy, and digestion. It is traditionally valued for supporting the body where there is the tiredness, pallor, and depletion Ayurveda links to weak blood, as well as for supporting appetite, digestion, and a healthy complexion. It is taken diluted with water, after food.

+What is in Lohasavam?
It is a fermented tonic built on herbally processed iron, with digestive and toning herbs in a jaggery and honey base.
Loha: herbally processed iron
Trikatu (ginger, black pepper, long pepper) and Triphala
Vidanga (Embelia), Musta, and Chitraka
Jaggery and honey to drive the natural fermentation
As an asava, it carries these, including the iron, in an easily absorbed, naturally fermented form.
+How does Lohasavam support the blood and energy?
Lohasavam is traditionally used to support healthy blood and energy because it carries herbally processed iron in an easily absorbed, fermented form, alongside digestive herbs that support the body's ability to use it. The warming Trikatu and other herbs kindle digestion and appetite, while the iron and toning herbs are traditionally valued for supporting the blood, complexion, and vitality. This is supportive, traditional care; anaemia is a medical condition that needs diagnosis and treatment by a doctor, who should confirm any iron supplementation. It is not intended to treat any disease.
+How do you take Lohasavam?
The traditional dose is about 15 to 25 ml after food, or as directed by your physician or Ayurvedic practitioner. A few pointers:
It is often diluted with an equal quantity of water.
Because it contains iron, use it under guidance and keep it out of the reach of children.
This bottle contains 435ml.
+Which dosha does Lohasavam balance?
Lohasavam mainly pacifies aggravated Vata and Kapha, supporting the depletion and weak digestion Ayurveda links to these doshas, while the iron and toning herbs support the tissues and blood. The warming digestive herbs kindle the digestive fire so the body can use the nourishment. This makes it well suited to tired, depleted, sluggish-digestion patterns, used alongside a wholesome, iron-rich diet and medical guidance. A practitioner can confirm whether it suits you.
+Can Lohasavam be used for anaemia?
Traditionally, Lohasavam is one of the classic Ayurvedic iron-bearing formulas associated with supporting the blood in anaemia, which is its traditional basis. However, anaemia is a medical condition with many possible causes and needs proper diagnosis (including blood tests) and treatment by a doctor, who should also confirm whether iron supplementation suits you. Lohasavam should be used only as supportive, traditional care under guidance, never instead of medical investigation and treatment. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
+Does Lohasavam contain alcohol?
Yes, as a traditional asava it contains a small amount of naturally self-generated alcohol produced during fermentation, which along with the water carries the herbal components, including the iron, through the body. This is a natural by-product of the classical process, not added alcohol. Because of this, those who avoid alcohol entirely, pregnant or breastfeeding women, children, and anyone with a liver condition should consult a practitioner first. Take it diluted with water after food.
+Are there any precautions with Lohasavam?
Lohasavam contains herbal-processed iron, so it should be used under guidance and kept strictly out of the reach of children, as iron-containing products can be harmful in excess. Because it also contains self-generated alcohol, jaggery, and honey, those avoiding alcohol, managing diabetes, or with a liver condition should seek advice. Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, on medication, or managing a health condition (including anaemia) should consult their physician. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
