Vasakarishtam is a classical Ayurvedic liquid formulation that supports respiratory health. It contains Vasaka (Malabar nut) as its chief ingredient, a herb known for its strong mucolytic and anti-asthmatic properties. Because it helps liquefy and expel excess mucus, physicians commonly use it in many Kapha-dominant respiratory conditions. In addition, it helps manage inflammatory and bleeding disorders such as haemoptysis and Rakta Pitta.
People also know this formulation by several names, including Vasakasavam, Vasakasav, Vasakarishta, Vasarishta, Vasarista, and Vasakadyarishtam.
