Maharishi Ayurveda
Maharishi Ayurveda's Vasarishta is an old Ayurvedic herbal mixture that helps and strengthens the respiratory system. Vasarishta is a liquid Ayurvedic medicine made using traditional fermentation methods. It contains plant extracts that ease inflammation, help with breathing, and kill germs. This strong medicine can help with chest congestion, respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, asthma, and conditions where the throat and lungs are inflamed.
This recipe is based on Vasa (Adhatoda vasica), a sacred plant in Ayurveda that is known to help with coughs, phlegm, and shortness of breath. It is also known by other classical names, such as Vasakasavam, Vasakarishta, or Vasakadyarishtam.
Benefits:
Helps the lungs work and opens up the airways: As a natural bronchodilator, Vasarishta helps clear up phlegm, lowers mucus buildup, and encourages deep, clear breathing. People who have long-term breathing problems will benefit the most from it.
Helps reduce swelling in the throat and lungs: This mixture helps with sore throats, pharyngitis, laryngitis, and hoarse voices. Because it soothes and reduces inflammation, it helps calm down congestion in the upper airways.
Takes care of both chronic and acute cough syndrome: Vamanishta can help with both dry and productive coughs, including haemoptysis (coughing blood) and phthisis (cough linked to tuberculosis), whether they are caused by infections, allergies, or smoking.
Natural Immunity Booster: The mix of herbs in Vasarishta boosts the immune system, which makes colds, sinuses, and tonsillitis less common and less severe.
Indications:
A sore throat
Laryngitis
Bronchitis
A cough that is both dry and wet
Lung diseases in the upper body
Fresh air cold
Sinusitis
Toxic tonsillitis
Blood loss
Smoking-related TB of the lungs
For long-term lung support, seasonal infections, and inflammatory airway disorders, this all-purpose Ayurvedic tonic is perfect. It works on both short-term and long-term breathing problems.
Suggested Usages: One to two teaspoons (5 to 10 ml) should be taken once or twice a day after meals
What Makes Maharishi Ayurveda Vasarishta the Best?
The original Ayurvedic fermentation process is used to make Vasarishta by Maharishi Ayurveda. This naturally makes the formulation more effective and extends its shelf life. It is a good choice for people who want a natural way to treat breathing problems and sore throats because it only uses pure plant extracts and high-quality herbs.
Maharishi Ayurveda Vasarishta (450ml) is a classical Ayurvedic fermented herbal tonic (an arishta) built on Vasa taken to support easy breathing, a clear chest, a soothed throat and the body's natural handling of cough and respiratory discomfort. From Maharishi Ayurveda, a respected Ayurvedic house. Traditionally it is used to support:
Easy breathing, a clear chest and a soothed throat
The body's natural handling of cough, including dry and irritable cough
Respiratory comfort and the body's handling of mild bleeding tendencies in the chest
+What is an arishta, and what is in Vasarishta?
An arishta is a classical Ayurvedic fermented herbal tonic, made by fermenting herbs with water and natural sweeteners, which gives it a small, naturally occurring alcohol content that acts as a preservative and carrier and makes the herbs easy to absorb. Vasarishta is built on Vasa (Adusa, Malabar nut, Adhatoda vasica, the premier Ayurvedic herb for the chest, cough and respiratory bleeding) with supporting herbs. Together they are traditionally valued for the chest, cough and easy breathing. By delivering Vasa and supporting herbs in a fermented tonic, Vasarishta offers traditional, easily-absorbed respiratory support.
+Is Vasarishta good for cough and the chest?
Supporting easy breathing and the body's handling of cough is exactly what Vasarishta is most valued for. Taken as advised, its Vasa-led herbs are traditionally used to support the body's natural handling of cough (including dry, irritable cough), support easy breathing and a clear, comfortable chest, soothe the throat and support the body's handling of the mild respiratory bleeding tendencies Vasa is classically valued for. Vasa is Ayurveda's foremost cough-and-chest herb. It offers supportive care; breathing difficulty, a high fever, chest pain, coughing up blood, or a persistent or worsening cough need prompt medical attention, with the tonic used alongside proper care.
+How do you take Maharishi Ayurveda Vasarishta, and what is the dosage?
Vasarishta is usually taken in a small measured amount, often around 15 to 30ml, usually diluted with an equal amount of water, after meals, once or twice daily, or as directed. A simple way to take it:
Measure the advised amount with the cap or a spoon.
Dilute it with an equal amount of water.
Take it after meals, often twice daily, while symptoms last.
Diluting it is traditional and gentler on the stomach. Confirm the right amount and duration with a practitioner, especially for any respiratory condition.
+How does Vasarishta work?
Vasarishta works through chest-and-cough-soothing Vasa and supporting herbs in an easily-absorbed fermented base. In Ayurveda, cough and chest discomfort are linked to aggravated Kapha (mucus) and Pitta (heat) and sometimes Vata (dry, irritable cough) in the respiratory tract, and Vasa helps clear and soothe the chest, soothe an irritable or dry cough, cool the heat in the chest and support the body's handling of mild respiratory bleeding, while the fermented base aids absorption. As the chest is cleared and soothed, easier breathing and a comfortable chest are traditionally supported. This chest-soothing, cough-easing action is why Vasarishta is a classic respiratory tonic, used as supportive care.
+Does Vasarishta contain alcohol?
Yes, like all arishtas, Vasarishta contains a small amount of naturally occurring alcohol, produced during traditional fermentation, which acts as a natural preservative and carrier and helps the herbs absorb; it is not added spirit. The amount is modest and the tonic is taken in small, diluted doses. However, those who avoid alcohol entirely (for personal, religious, medical or recovery reasons), pregnant or nursing women, children, and those with liver disease or on medication that interacts with alcohol, should avoid it or seek advice. A practitioner can advise. You can buy it from AyurvedaBay.com, with worldwide shipping.
+Which dosha does Vasarishta balance?
Vasarishta, through Vasa, mainly settles aggravated Pitta (heat in the chest and mild bleeding tendencies) and Kapha (mucus and congestion), while also soothing a dry, irritable Vata cough. Cough and chest discomfort are classically linked to aggravated Pitta and Kapha in the respiratory tract, which Vasa's cooling, soothing, chest-clearing nature settles. Unusually for a respiratory herb, Vasa is cooling, making it suited to heated, Pitta-type coughs. By cooling Pitta, clearing Kapha and soothing the chest, it supports easy breathing and a comfortable chest. This makes it well suited to heated, congested or irritable-cough chest tendencies, used as supportive care.
+Is Maharishi Ayurveda Vasarishta safe, and are there precautions?
Vasarishta is generally well tolerated as a fermented respiratory tonic when taken in the advised diluted dose, but a few precautions apply:
It contains a small amount of naturally occurring alcohol from fermentation; those avoiding alcohol, pregnant or nursing women, children, and those with liver disease or on interacting medication, should avoid it or seek advice.
It is supportive care; breathing difficulty, high fever, chest pain, coughing up blood, or a persistent or worsening cough need prompt medical attention.
If you take medication, consult a doctor first.
It is supportive care and is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease.
