Benefits of Sarivadyasava
1. Urticaria (Hives)
Urticaria is commonly known as Hives. It is basically a raised, itchy rash that appears on the skin. In Ayurveda, It is known as Sheetpitta.[2] It is identified as a type of allergic reaction caused due to an imbalance of Vata and Kapha. It could also be caused due to impaired Pitta dosha. Vata-Kapha balancing and Shodhan (detoxification) properties of Sarivadyasava provide relief in Urticaria.

Mix it with equal amounts of lukewarm water
Have it once or twice a day, preferably after meals

2. Eczema
Atopic dermatitis is often called Eczema. It is a chronic disease that causes the skin to become inflamed and irritated. According to Ayurveda, it generally occurs due to an imbalance of Pitta dosha. It could also be a result of certain types of impurities of blood which commonly leads to symptoms like itching or irritation.

3. Acne/Pimples
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when oil glands on the skin get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes pimples that develop deep in the skin, causing red, swollen, and painful bumps. According to Ayurveda, a Kapha-Pittaj skin type is generally more vulnerable to acne. Aggravation of Kapha leads to increased production of sebum and clogged pores. This results in the formation of both white and blackheads. Similarly, aggravation of Pitta is marked by the appearance of some red papules (bumps) and inflammation with pus.
Sarivadyasava is one of the most effective Ayurvedic preparations which help to manage acne or pimples due to its Pitta and Kapha balancing, and Shothahara (anti-inflammatory) properties. It also helps in blood purification by removing toxins due to its Shodhan (detoxification) property.

4. Urinary tract infection
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a type of infection which may affect any part of your urinary system — kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Sarivadyasava is one of the most useful Ayurvedic medicines suggested for urinary disorders. Urinary tract infection is described under the broad term of Mutrakcchra in Ayurveda. Mutra means ooze and krichra mean pain. Thus, dysuria and painful urination are called Mutrakcchra. In urinary tract infection, Sarivadyasava subsides the symptoms of UTI, like a burning sensation during urination. This is due to its Pitta balancing property.
