Amrutarishta Dhootapapeshwar

Dhootapapeshwar Amritarishta

A Potent Ayurvedic Tonic for Fever and Digestive Health

Amrutarishta, also known as Amritarishta or Amritarishtam, is a traditional Ayurvedic Arishta formulation renowned for its effectiveness in managing chronic fever, typhoid fever, malaria, indigestion, and various infectious diseases. Derived from the powerful herb Guduchi (also called Amruta), this Arishta is celebrated for its Jwaraghna (fever-reducing) and Aampachak (digestive-enhancing) properties.

This Ayurvedic tonic is particularly beneficial for treating different types of fever, especially Dhatugata Jwara (fever affecting deeper tissues). In cases of Vishamjwar (intermittent fever), Amritarishta supports improved liver and spleen function, promoting overall recovery. The naturally occurring denatured alcohol in all Arishta formulations enhances digestion, aiding better nutrient absorption and alleviating body pain associated with chronic illnesses like typhoid and prolonged fever.
