Description

About 

Misrakasneham (also spelled Mishrakasneham) is a classical Ayurvedic medicated ghee used primarily to support digestive, liver, and skin health. The term “Misraka” means “a combination,” and “Sneham” refers to ghee or oil — indicating that this formulation combines several herbs in ghee form to provide detoxification, digestive strengthening, and rejuvenation.

It is widely prescribed for pitta-related disorders such as acidity, jaundice, skin eruptions, fever, and burning sensations. The formulation balances Pitta and Vata doshas, nourishes the body, and supports healthy metabolism.
