Asoka is cooling, bitter, astringent, restoring complexion, and is stiptic. It matures and balances the Doshas in Ayurveda. One of the 3 herbs connected with the Goddess Parvathy, this herb has a long mystical tradition for its usefulness in treating most uterine disorders and diseases of blood.

Action: Astringent and tonic used specially in uterine haemorrhage or disorders.

Uses: Its use is specially favoured in menstrual disorders particularly in irregular haemorrhage as an astringent tonic. It is also given in combination with iron salts as a pill or in liquid form.

This pure dried Ashoka bark can be made into a tea by steeping for 10 minutes in hot water. The bark can be re-used 3 times if carefully dried between use.
