Drakshasava is a classical fermented Ayurvedic liquid (asava) made by Virgo UAP Pharma, in which Draksha (Vitis vinifera, dried grapes) is the lead dravya, combined with an aromatic group of Pippali, Maricha, Dalchini, Ela, Tamalapatra and Nagakeshara and matured with its own naturally generated alcohol (not more than 12% v/v). In classical Ayurveda it is a Deepana and Pachana preparation, traditionally valued to kindle appetite, ease digestion and support daily strength. Vitis vinifera and its constituents have themselves been reviewed in the modern research literature (Nassiri-Asl & Hosseinzadeh, 2009 — Phytotherapy Research).
About Drakshasava
Drakshasava is a classical fermented Ayurvedic tonic (asava) in which Draksha — Vitis vinifera, the dried grape — is the lead dravya. Manufactured by Virgo UAP Pharma and supplied by Riddhish Herbals, it follows the Bharat Bhaishajya Ratnakar (B.B.R.-3128) reference printed on the pack.
Around the sweet, nourishing Draksha sits a warm bouquet of digestive spices — Pippali, Maricha, Dalchini, Ela, Tamalapatra and Nagakeshara — with Vidanga and Priyangu. Dhataki flowers drive the natural fermentation. The result is one of Ayurveda's most pleasant after-meal tonics.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
In classical Ayurveda, Draksha (Vitis vinifera) is prized as Madhura (sweet), Brimhana (nourishing) and Hridya, and Drakshasava is described in texts such as the Bharat Bhaishajya Ratnakar as a Deepana (appetite-kindling) and Pachana (digestion-supporting) preparation.
The aromatic spices — Pippali (Piper longum), Maricha (Piper nigrum), Dalchini, Ela and Tamalapatra — are classical Deepana-Pachana dravyas that make the formula warming and carminative. Dhataki (Woodfordia fruticosa) is the Sandhana dravya that gives the asava its self-generated alcohol and long shelf stability.
