收藏: Kwatha

In Ayurveda, Kwatha refers to a herbal decoction prepared by boiling medicinal herbs in water to extract their therapeutic properties. It is one of the key dosage forms in Ayurvedic medicine, used to balance the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The process involves simmering coarsely powdered herbs in water until the volume reduces to one-fourth, intensifying the active constituents. Kwathas are prescribed based on individual prakriti (constitution) and specific ailments. They aid in digestion, detoxification, immunity, and overall rejuvenation. Since they are quickly absorbed, kwathas act faster than some other formulations, offering effective, natural healing aligned with Ayurvedic principles of holistic health.
