Our Preparation Method

According to the definition in classical texts, water should reduce to half. But its taste becomes astringent and bad. So, it is not suitable for patients. Most of the patients don’t like its taste and don’t get benefits as described in this article. Therefore, we prepare it by taking 10 grams of herbs in 1280 ml water. Boil water with herbs twice. Twice means when one boil comes, we slow down the flame and then again increase the flame. When the second boil comes, we remove it from the stove.

Shadanga Paniya prepared with this method is very delicious and most suitable for everyone. Even children like its taste. It also provides benefits as described in classical texts and in this article.
