Tiktakam Kashayam is a classical herbal formulation containing key ingredients such as Nimba (Azadirachta indica), Katuki (Picrorhiza kurroa), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Vasa (Adhatoda vasica), and Haritaki (Terminalia chebula). It is traditionally used to promote healthy digestion, liver function, and detoxification by balancing the Pitta dosha. The herbs in this decoction have been noted for their bitter taste (Tikta rasa) which helps in reducing inflammation and supporting metabolic processes (research studies, ayurvedic texts). The formulation may also aid in managing mild skin conditions and maintaining overall digestive health. Typically prescribed under professional supervision, Tiktakam Kashayam is taken before meals to maximize its effects and integrate with lifestyle adjustments.
