SKM Drakshadi Kashayam is a classical Ayurvedic decoction formulated to pacify aggravated Pitta dosha and support the body in managing heat-related imbalances, fatigue, and mental unrest. The key ingredient, Draksha (Vitis vinifera), is rich in antioxidants and supports liver function and energy levels. Sariva (Hemidesmus indicus) is traditionally used for its blood-purifying, cooling, and anti-inflammatory properties; modern studies highlight its potential in managing skin conditions and allergic responses. Usheera (Vetiveria zizanioides) offers cooling, diuretic, and nervine effects, aiding in stress relief and urinary tract support. Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa) is valued for its astringent and anti-inflammatory actions, particularly in managing bleeding and inflammatory conditions.
Pharmacological studies on the formulation’s ingredients support their role in managing oxidative stress, inflammation, and heat-induced symptoms. Drakshadi Kashayam is commonly used in Ayurveda for conditions like headache, gastritis, fatigue, and burning sensations in the body. The formulation works through cooling, calming, and detoxifying pathways, in line with classical Ayurvedic principles. It is best taken under professional guidance as part of an individualized treatment plan.
