Ayaskriti is commonly used ayurveda medicine in Kerala for the treatment of urinary disorders, haemorrhoids, leucoderma, skin diseases, and loss of appetite, worm infestation, anaemia, irritable bowel syndrome, malabsorption disorders, and obesity (losing weight). The main action of Ayaskriti appears on the vata dosha and kapha dosha. It reduces accumulation of body fat by inducing fat burning. The most effects are observed on belly fat accumulation. However, its regular use helps to reduce overall body weight with slight variation in results person-to-person.
