About 

Elakanadi Kashayam is a classical Ayurvedic decoction (herbal extract) mainly prescribed for respiratory and sinus-related ailments. The formulation contains herbs like Ela (Cardamom), Vasa (Adhatoda vasica), Pippali (Long pepper), and Tulasi (Holy basil) — all known for their mucolytic, anti-inflammatory, and expectorant properties.

This medicine helps clear nasal congestion, cold, cough, sinusitis, and respiratory blockages, and is also effective in allergic rhinitis and throat irritation. It helps balance Kapha and Vata doshas, improving breathing comfort and overall respiratory health.
