About Pratirakshak Ukalo Dry and Its Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Ukalo (also written ukado) is the Gujarati word for a warm herbal decoction, the kadha or kwath of Hindi and Sanskrit. The Kwatha is one of the five basic forms of Ayurvedic preparation (Pancha Vidha Kashaya Kalpana) described in the Sharangadhara Samhita, in which coarse herbs are simmered in water and strained. Pratirakshak Ukalo Dry is a Riddhish Herbals proprietary formulation rather than a single classical recipe, supplied as dry, coarse herbs so the ukalo can be freshly prepared at home. It was earlier sold as Pratikar Ukalo.
Ayurveda gives close attention to the turn of the seasons (Ritucharya). The Charaka Samhita describes the rainy season (Varsha) as a time when digestion (Agni) tends to be weaker and Vata is easily disturbed. Kapha, which Ayurveda traditionally places in the chest (Ura) and throat (Kantha), is also given attention as the seasons turn. Warm, light preparations of bitter and pungent herbs have long been part of household practice at this time. Pratirakshak Ukalo brings eight such herbs together in equal parts:
- Guduchi (Giloy): called Amrita in the classical Nighantus; Tikta and Kashaya in taste, and traditionally regarded as balancing all three doshas.
- Vasa (Adusa): Tikta and Kashaya, cooling (Sheeta) in potency, and long valued in Ayurveda for the chest and breath.
- Tulasi (holy basil): a warming (Ushna), pungent and bitter herb, Kapha- and Vata-balancing, traditionally taken in warm drinks for throat comfort.
- Kariyatu (Kalmegh) and Neem (Nimba): two strongly bitter (Tikta) herbs, traditionally regarded as balancing Kapha and Pitta.
- Musta (Nagarmoth) and Sunthi (dry ginger): described as Deepana and Pachana, kindling and supporting Agni; Sunthi is called Vishwabheshaja in the classical texts.
- Punarnava: a classical herb of the Nighantus, Madhura, Tikta and Kashaya in taste, completing the formula.
Because it combines several bitter and warming herbs, Pratirakshak Ukalo Dry is best taken as your Ayurvedic doctor or Vaidya advises, who can decide the quantity, how long to continue and which diet should go with it.
