Ingredients And Its Properties

1. Honey

In Ayurveda, honey (Madhu) is described as a unique natural substance with both nutritional and therapeutic significance. Acharya Charaka classifies honey as Nitya Sevaniya Dravya (suitable for daily use) due to its light (Laghu), dry (Ruksha), and subtle (Sukshma) qualities. Honey also exhibits Lekhana (scraping), Ropana (wound-healing), Sandhana (tissue-binding), and Deepana (digestive fire–stimulating) actions. Its Yogavahi property allows it to penetrate micro-channels (Srotas) and enhance the bioavailability of co-administered herbs, similar to a natural drug-delivery medium. Ayurveda strictly advises against heating honey, as heated honey becomes Ama-kara (toxin-forming) and obstructs channels, a concept aligned with modern findings that heat denatures enzymes and increases harmful compounds.
