Kooshmaandarasaayanam 500 Gms– Classical Ayurvedic Rasayana Paste 500g

Kooshmaandarasaayanam – Classical Ayurvedic Rasayana Paste for Cough, Emaciation & Raktapittam | 500g

Kooshmaandarasaayanam is a classical Ayurvedic rasayana (rejuvenative) paste formulation referenced in Ashtanga Hrudayam. Named after its primary ingredient Kooshmanda (Benincasa hispida) — Ash Gourd / Winter Melon — this formulation is built around the fresh paste of ash gourd fruit as the dominant nourishing and cooling base, enriched with a precise blend of aromatic digestive spices and classical carriers.

Kooshmanda (Ash Gourd) is one of Ayurveda’s foremost pittahara (Pitta-pacifying) and raktapittahara (blood-Pitta pacifying) fruits, classically described as cooling, nourishing, and beneficial for the respiratory tract. In this rasayana preparation, the ash gourd paste (7.101g per 10g — the dominant ingredient) is combined with Trikatu (Pippali, Maricha, Shunti) for digestive stimulation and bioavailability, aromatic spices (Tejapatra, Twak, Ela, Dhanyaka, Jeeraka) for palatability and digestive support, and sugar candy, honey, and cow’s ghee as the classical base and carriers. Available in 250g and 500g pack sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is Raktapittam and how does Kooshmaandarasaayanam help?
Raktapittam is a classical Ayurvedic condition involving the vitiation of Rakta (blood) by Pitta, manifesting as bleeding tendencies from various body orifices — including haemoptysis (coughing blood), epistaxis (nosebleed), and other haemorrhagic conditions. Kooshmanda (Ash Gourd) is classically described as one of the foremost raktapittahara (blood-Pitta pacifying) herbs in Ayurveda, making it the primary ingredient in this formulation.

Q2. Why is Ash Gourd (Kooshmanda) used as the primary ingredient?
Kooshmanda (Benincasa hispida) is classically described in Ashtanga Hrudayam as pittahara (Pitta-pacifying), raktapittahara (blood-Pitta pacifying), brimhana (nourishing), and beneficial for the respiratory tract. Its high water content and cooling properties make it an ideal base for conditions involving dryness, heat, and wasting. At 7.101g per 10g, it is the dominant ingredient in this formulation.

Q3. Why does this formulation contain Trikatu (hot spices) alongside a cooling herb like Ash Gourd?
Trikatu (Pippali, Maricha, Shunti) is included in small quantities as a classical deepana (digestive stimulant) and bioavailability enhancer. In Ayurvedic formulation science, even cooling rasayana preparations include small amounts of digestive spices to ensure proper absorption and prevent the heavy, nourishing ingredients from causing digestive sluggishness. The quantities are carefully balanced to not override the cooling nature of the formulation.

Q4. Is this suitable during pregnancy?
Pregnant or nursing women should consult a qualified Ayurvedic physician before use. Do not self-administer during pregnancy.

Q5. Do you offer bulk or institutional orders?
Yes, we welcome bulk and wholesale enquiries. Please contact us directly for pricing, certifications, and minimum order quantities.
