‘Nimba’ or Neem bark known for its ‘Tikta’ rasa or bitter taste represents this formula that efficiently improves blood and liver function.  Drugs dominant in ‘Tikta rasa ‘ or bitter taste act upon deranged pitta and ‘digest’ it. This maybe understood as the resolution of inflammatory changes in the gut as well as skin, bones, joints and supporting tissue. Nimbadi kashaya is a balancing combination of ‘pitta-samana’ drugs in an aqueous base.
