The drugs we use are herbal, and using different parts of the plant according to their medicinal value. The drugs are powdered and we use different methods to prepare medicine, so that maximum medicinal content can be absorbed.

Lehya is the paste form of medicine which is having equally medicinal property and the rasayana property(rejuvenating property). It is prepared by processing the kwatha(decoction) with choorna and herbal preservatives.
