Srirama Rasa is a unique herbo-mineral formulation explained in the Jwara Chikitsa Prakaranam of Bhaishajya Ratnavali having a multi- dimensional therapeutic action i.e., Ama jwara, Shoola, Vishtambha and Vata vikaras. It is a potent formulation having Shuddha Parada, Shuddha Gandhaka, ShuddhaJayapala Beeja and Maricha given Bhavana with Dantimoola kwatha.
