Kashayam Herbal Teas

Kashayam is one of the panchakalpanas (5 methods of herbal preparation) of Ayurveda. Kashyams are a widely used form of herbal preparation and do not refer to any one type of Ayurvedic formula. It is a generic term for a certain type of herbal tea decoction.

Kashayam refers to a water decoction or water extract of a single herb or group of herbs. Herbal decoctions support many types of acute and chronic illnesses. 

Kashayams are an ancient form of preparing herbal remedies and are prepared with fresh plant material. Arya Vaidya Sala's Kashayams are available in liquid form, but many are also available as tablets known as Kwathams.
