Kanakasava, also known as Kanakasavam is a classical ayurvedic decoction that confers absolute remedy towards most respiratory anomalies, gut problems, bleeding disorders and weakened immunity. Being a potent bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory formulation, it provides relief from an abrupt asthma attack by increasing the airflow to the lungs and dilating and relaxing the bronchial passageways. It is also extremely effective in treating chronic fever, hemorrhages, bronchitis, common cold, rhinitis, productive cough, phthisis, and lung injury. Kanakasava chiefly contains 5-10% of self-generated alcohol that helps transport water and alcohol-soluble herbs to the body and the formulation is prepared in accordance with the asava-arishta technique.Phytochemical analyses confirm the presence of active compounds like vasicine, vasicinone, and glycyrrhizin, whose availability is enhanced via fermentation and may support bronchial and mucous balance.
