Tiktaka Ghrita 150 gm by Sitaram Ayurveda

Ayurvedic materia medica lists groups of drugs based on their ‘rasa’ or taste. Drugs dominant in ‘Tikta rasa’ or bitter taste act upon deranged Pitta and ‘digest’ it. This maybe understood as the resolution of inflammatory changes in the gut as well as skin, bones, joints and supporting tissue. Tiktaka Ghrita is a balancing combination of ‘Pitta-Samana’ drugs in a nourishing ghee base.

‘Ghrita’ or medicated ghee harnesses the healing properties of herbs and roots in a nourishing fat base. Ayurveda attributes ‘Sookshma’ property to ghrita, i.e. It is capable of reaching deep into tissues, and heals from within. It is perfectly suitable for long-term use in sustaining the effects of treatment in a body and preventing relapse.

Features & Benefits

• Balancing blend of Tikta rasa (bitter taste) and Seeta Veerya (cooling nature) drugs that pacifies deranged ‘Pitta dosha’ in the system.
• Deranged Pitta dosha vitiates ‘Rakta’ (blood), heats up the body, interrupts metabolic pathways and causes up build-up of endotoxins (ama), which manifests as chronic skin diseases and inflammatory changes in the gut.
• The Tiktaka combination pacifies the excess heat and acidity caused by this deranged Pitta in the gut and bowel. It relieves sour belching, acid eructation and indigestion.
• Tiktaka Ghrita improves skin health and immunity. It heals chronic lesions, with or without discharge, rashes and urticaria.
• Lifestyle diseases are invariably rooted in inflammation throughout the system. Tiktaka Ghrita breaks down inflammatory pathways and restores metabolism.
