Vasakasava is a classical fermented Ayurvedic liquid (asava) made by Virgo UAP Pharma in which Vasa (Adhatoda vasica) is the dominant dravya, combined with warm aromatic spices, and matured with its own self-generated alcohol (not more than 12% v/v). In classical Ayurveda it is a Kasa-Shwasa preparation, traditionally valued for cough and comfortable breathing. Adhatoda vasica has itself been studied in modern research for respiratory support (peer-reviewed research, 2021 — PMID 33565386).

About Vasakasava
Vasakasava is a classical fermented Ayurvedic tonic built around Vasa — Adhatoda vasica, the classic Ayurvedic respiratory herb. Manufactured by Virgo UAP Pharma and supplied by Riddhish Herbals, it follows the Bharat Bhaishajya Ratnakar (B.B.R.-6835) reference printed on the pack.
Vasa leaf is the dominant dravya, supported by Kankola, the Trikatu spices, Ela, Dalchini and Ushira, with Dhataki flowers driving the fermentation. It is one of Ayurveda's gentle Kasa-Shwasa liquids.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
In classical Ayurveda, Vasa (Adhatoda vasica) is the foremost Kasa-Shwasa-hara and Raktapitta-shamaka dravya, and Vasakasava is described in the Bharat Bhaishajya Ratnakar in the context of cough and comfortable breathing.
Kankola (Piper cubeba) and the Trikatu spices are warming and Kaphaghna; Ushira is cooling. Dhataki (Woodfordia fruticosa) is the Sandhana dravya that drives the fermentation.
