About
Amalakarishtam is a classical Ayurvedic fermented herbal formulation (Arishtam) primarily used for digestive, respiratory, and immunity support.
The main ingredient is Amalaki (Indian Gooseberry – Emblica officinalis), which is rich in Vitamin C, antioxidants, and rejuvenative compounds. The formulation is prepared by fermenting herbs with sugar and a natural fermenting agent, resulting in a palatable, slightly sweet, and mildly alcoholic medicinal preparation.
Amalakarishtam is widely used to strengthen digestion, improve appetite, and boost immunity, and it also acts as a rejuvenative tonic for general weakness.
