Manasamithra Vatakam is a classical Ayurvedic herbo-mineral tablet (gulika) from the Kerala tradition, formulated for the support of the mind and intellect. It is an elaborate preparation that classically combines a large group of herbs (commonly cited as around 73 ingredients) with traditional minerals such as bhasmas and pishtis.
The name itself describes the formula's purpose. Manas means the mind, Mithra means friend, and Vatakam (also Gulika or Vati) refers to a rounded herbal tablet. Read together, it is understood as "a friend to the mind," a preparation grouped among the Medhya (intellect-supporting) formulations of Ayurveda.
Ayurvedic Significance
In Ayurveda the mind is governed by the subtle interplay of the three doshas. Vata directs movement and thought; Sadhaka Pitta, seated near the heart, is linked to emotion and intellect; and Tarpaka Kapha nourishes the brain and sense organs. Mental steadiness is also connected to Manovaha Srotas, the channels of the mind, and to Ojas.
This formulation is traditionally described as a Medhya Rasayana, a rejuvenating preparation for the intellect, chosen to pacify aggravated Vata and excess Pitta affecting the mind and to nourish Majja dhatu, the tissue associated with the nervous system.

Additional Information
Because the name is transliterated from Sanskrit and regional Indian dialects, it appears in several spellings that all refer to the same preparation: Manasamitra Vatakam, Manasamitra Vatakam Gulika, Manasa Mitra Vatakam and Manasamitra Vati. The terms Vatakam, Vati and Gulika are interchangeable words for a herbal tablet.
