Parpataka is a simple Ayurvedic herb belonging to the grass species. Deranged Pitta causes the body to heat up and fume from within. It causes the body temperature to go up and the body fluids to become non-functional and viscid. Parpatakarishtam is a traditional Pitta-pacifying combination that revives the body with its cool and astringent properties.Arishtas are mildly alcoholic preparations. The sweet taste of Parpatakarishtam makes it palatable to kids and adults alike. The alcohol base makes it quick acting and efficient.
