Mahatiktaka Ghrita is abalancing combination ofPitta-dominant drugs in a nourishing ghee base. Ayurvedic materia medica lists groups of drugs based on their "rasa" or flavor. Drugs with a dominant "Tikta rasa" or bitter taste act upon disrupted Pitta and "digest" it. This may be understood as the resolution of inflammatory changes in the gut, skin, bones and joints. The proteins and antioxidants work together to soothe and control flare-ups. Saptapama and Vetiver help to tighten pores and even skin tone, balancing oil content and pH.
