Asava

"Asava" can refer to an Ayurvedic fermented herbal liquid medicine or, less commonly, a term in Buddhist philosophy meaning mental defilements, or even the brand ASAVA, a Thai fashion label. The Ayurvedic Asava is a stable, palatable, and effective medicament prepared by the fermentation of fresh herbal juices with a sugar solution and a fermenter, producing a self-generated alcohol that helps to extract and preserve the herbs' active ingredients.
