How to prepare kashayam?
The general method of preparation of kashayam is to take the required herbs. It is cut into small pieces, kept immersed in water for a short period of time, then the next morning it is added with 16 times of water and reduced to 1/4th or 1/8th by subjecting it to mild heat. After water reduction, it is taken out of the fire and it is to be consumed while it is mildly hot.
How kashaya tablet is prepared?
The Kashaya prepared in the above method is further concentrated and using some of the technologies, it is solidified to prepare kashaya tablets.
Here care is taken to solidify the entire mass under very controlled temperatures, otherwise,the herbs will lose the active medicinal components.
How much ml of kashayam is equal to one kashaya tablet –
The regular classical dosage of kashaya is 12 ml per time. 2 kashayam tablets is equal to one dose of kashaya . So, for any kashaya tablet, the usual daily dosage is two tablets two times a day, before food.
If you are taking kashayam, for any disease condition, can you switch over to kashayam tablet?
You can easily switch over to kashayam tablet.
Kashayam tablets benefits
Health Benefits of kashayam tablets over regular Kashaya:
All the market available kashayas have added preservatives. Whereas in kashayam tablets, the added preservative quantity is very minimal.
Usually, kashaya has a very bad taste, whereas it is easy to swallow kashayam tablets.
Kashayam tablets are very easy to carry. So that you will not be required to take bottled Kashaya wherever you go.
You may miss the dosage of kashaya, as it is a bit difficult to measure the exact dosage all the time, whereas kashayam tablets are very easy for dosage fixing. Just two tablets before food, two times a day.
Studies conducted
Is there any test or study conducted by AVN on kashayam tablet?
Yes. During the formulation of any Kashayam tablet, an in-depth study including HPTLC, Brix index, pH studies etc are done. After finalization of the formulation, for every batch of kashayam tablet of AVN is subjected to disintegration test, friability, height weight variation, etc are done to ensure proper release of active components of kashayam tablet at the level of stomach and intestines.

Panchatikta Guggulu Ghrita ( ghee form ) and Panchatikta Ghrita Guggulu (tablet ) same or not
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Hi, both have similar ingredients.
But the amount of ghee in the tablet is less when compared to ghee.
For a high cholesterol guy, tablet is preferred.
For others, ghee is the best option. But some can not tolerate the bitter taste. For them, tablet can be given.

as far as I know classical dosage of kashayam i.e. kwath is not 12 ml (one karsha) but 96 ml, TWO PALA. Refference – Sharangadhara Samhita. What is your refference for 12 ml, please?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Hi, Dravya Guna Vijnana mentions –
Kwathasya madhyama matra pala maanaa prakeertitaa |
So, medium dose is 48 ml per day.
24 ml in the morning and 24 in evening.
The market available kashayams are concentrated. so, 12 ml of kashayam + 12 ml of water per dose.
However, the dose is also dependent upon the patient’s strength, age, level of Dosha imbalance etc.

Dr Malini Bhat
You are right Kashaya in the natural form is much useful because the active principles level in it is more active.

can you tell about the limitations of the kashayam tablets please…
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
1. Kashayam – in liquid form gets absorbed faster due to the suspended active principles of the herb in the water medium.
2. Freshly prepared Kashayam is totally microbe free due to the boiling process, whereas, kashayam tablet may get contaminated if handled carelessly.
