This is an ancient classical formula that comes in 6 different variations. My father, Vaidya Kameshwar Mishra, used to favor one of these only. It’s the one that I also like to use. In the classical texts, it is called “dadimastak churn” or a churna (herbal powdered mix) of “dadi” or pomegranate, and “astak” means eight. So the name highlights the fact that the formula primarily contains pomegranate plus eight specific herbs/plants in powder form. This is a proven ancient formula for amlapitta, or sour stomach. Now, under its new SVA name, Pro-Pachaka, you will find it delivers powerful support to enhance the interaction of enzymes with the food. This tablet is tri-doshic. It will help clear up udana – the areas of the chest & throat; balance samana – in the stomach & small intestine; & pacify apana or the colon area, without heating or aggravating pitta. Purified trikatu powder (pippali, sunthi, & long pepper) is used in this tablet. Trikatu can be very heating (agneya). This formula uses purified trikatu - trikatu is cooled by soaking the raw ingredients in takra (ayurvedic buttermilk) before making the powder.
• Pomegranate (Punica granatum): Supports the interactions of enzymes with food. Great anti-oxidant – wherever amlapitta is present we find amavisha. Pomegranate removes amavisha and supports/restores the mucous membranes of the stomach, lungs, and colon.
• Vanshlochan (Bambusa Arundinacea): Neutralizes acid but carries a good balance of soma and agni. It's tri-doshic. Vanshlochan can ‘soak’ kledaka kapha of the stomach if it is too high.
• Nagkeshar (Mesuaferra): Enhances enzymatic secretions and interactions
• Ajmoda (Carum roxburghianum): Supports enzymatic secretions and interactions without heating things up
• Pippali or Long pepper (Piper longum): Mild agneya to balance enzymes and open physical channels
• Sunthi: Ayurvedic ginger for pitta. Opens the channels and increases intelligence of enzymatic interactions
• Black pepper (Piper nigrum): Mild agneya to balance enzymes and open channels, support the flow of bile and digestion
• Chavya (Piper cubeba): Highly aromatic and appetite enhancer plant that helps unblock enzymatic channels, enhancing the interaction between enzymes and the food, without heating up the system. It acts as a great carrier (yogvahi) for pomegranate
• Organic Sugar Crystals: Cools and balances heat of the other ingredients
• Gum acacia: A natural binder for the tablets

This product has been a life-saver for my belly distention, which happened after Covid.
I've tried a range of western and Ayurvedic approaches -- this one product (and the cream are tops)!
Thank you all for keeping Vaidya Mishra's wisdom alive.
