Details of the manufacturing
As already discussed, Rasonarasam kashayam has only one ingredient.
Rasona should be taken fresh, washed well and kept in grape wine or any such fermented liquid overnight.
Take Rasona in crushed form in an earthen pot. For your special attention, it should be crushed and tied up separately in a white clean cotton cloth as a Potali. This is to prevent the excess dissolution of the contents and to maintain the exact consistency of the kashayam. Now add 16 times clean water into it. Make it boil and then cook in the open vessel with low fire. Reduce the quantity into one by eighth of the initial quantity. Make sure to mix it in between with a ladle without breaking the potli. Also, the fire should be kept low to make sure that all the active ingredients in the herbs needed are absorbed well into the water. Once the quantity is reduced to one by eighth of the initial amount of water, remove the vessel from the fire. Squeeze and drain through a clean white cloth. Collect the decoction in a clean vessel and discard the solid waste. Drink the mild warm decoction.
NB: In the text it is advised to make with cow’s milk and water. But in huge quantity, milk is avoided to get longer shelf life.
