Ayurvedic Perspective
Excess Pitta can show up as heat, thirst, irritability, burning sensations, acidity and a stressed liver, often along with Vata imbalance that brings fatigue and dryness. This formula is built around herbs that are predominantly sweet (madhura) in taste and cooling (sheeta) in potency. Draksha and Madhuka cool and nourish, Yashtimadhu soothes the tissues, Sariva supports the blood, Amalaki rejuvenates and Musta supports digestion.
