In Ayurveda, seasonal cleansing is an important practice to help maintain optimal health. Tiktakam Kwatham is one of the herbal formulations that is commonly used in Ayurvedic seasonal cleansing, also known as Panchakarma.
Tiktakam Kwatham is traditionally used during the spring season when there is an accumulation of ama or impurities in the body. The main herbs in Tiktakam Kwatham, such as patola, neem, and katuka, are known to have detoxifying and cleansing properties.

Arishtams and Asavams are medicinal herbs processed by fermentation. The process of making an Arishtam or Asavam is lengthy and begins by boiling dried herbs in water to extract the medicinal qualities of the herbs. This is called an herbal decoction.
Ayurveda, as well as other systems of Indian medicine use metals and minerals to support healing. The use of metals for healing is also amply described in Chinese and Egyptian medicines as far back as 2500 B.C.. Bhasmas are unique to Ayurveda and the use of metal and mineral preparations have been documented since the 7th century A.D.
The Ayurvedic text lists four types of fats with medicinal healing qualities. They are ghritam (ghee), oil (sesame), vasa (muscle), and majja (marrow). Each one has its own unique properties, however ghritam has several special qualities that are unmatched. Ghritam will maintain its own healing qualities even when combined with herbs with different qualities.
