About 

Vasarishtam is a classical Ayurvedic fermented liquid preparation (Arishta) made primarily from Vasa (Adhatoda vasica), known for its powerful respiratory benefits. It is prepared by fermenting medicinal herbs in water along with jaggery/honey, making it mildly alcoholic and easily absorbable.
