Dettagli sulla produzione
As already discussed, Balajeerakadi kashayam is prepared using 9 herbs as its ingredients in equal quantity.
Tutti questi ingredienti devono essere lavati bene e asciugati all'ombra.
Take the prescribed herbs in dried & crushed form in an earthen pot. For your special attention, Viswa should be crushed and tied up separately in a white clean cotton cloth as a Potali. This is to prevent the excess dissolution of the contents and to maintain the exact consistency of the kashayam. Now add 16 times clean water into it. Make it boil and then cook in the open vessel with low fire. Reduce the quantity into one by eighth of the initial quantity. Make sure to mix it in between with a ladle without breaking the potli. Also, the fire should be kept low to make sure that all the active ingredients in the herbs needed are absorbed well into the water. Once the quantity is reduced to one by eighth of the initial amount of water, remove the vessel from the fire. Squeeze and drain through a clean white cloth. Collect the decoction in a clean vessel and discard the solid waste. Drink the mild warm decoction.
