Product Description
Soft extracts, also known as
Ghanasatva in Ayurveda, are highly concentrated, semi-solid herbal preparations obtained by evaporating the water content from a decoction (
kasaya) of medicinal plants. These extracts preserve the full spectrum of active constituents in a potent and bioavailable form. With their
sara (essence) and
sookshma (subtle) nature, soft extracts penetrate deeply into tissues and act quickly, making them ideal for internal formulations like tablets (
vati), capsules, and external applications like ointments. Depending on the herbs used, they may exhibit
deepana (digestive),
rasayana (rejuvenative),
shodhana (detoxifying), or
tvachya (skin-enhancing) properties. Soft extracts offer the convenience of standardized dosing while retaining the holistic efficacy of traditional Ayurvedic preparations, making them a preferred base in modern Ayurvedic pharmaceutics.
