Description
About
Panchakolasavam is a traditional Ayurvedic fermented herbal tonic (Asava) primarily used for improving digestion, relieving bloating, and treating loss of appetite. It is formulated with five potent herbs known as Panchakola — Pippali, Pippalimoola, Chavya, Chitraka, and Nagara (Dry Ginger).
These herbs work synergistically to stimulate Agni (digestive fire), reduce Ama (toxins), and promote metabolic health. Panchakolasavam is especially beneficial for those suffering from indigestion, gas, and abdominal discomfort due to sluggish digestion or Kapha imbalance.
