Benefits & Uses of Rohitkarishta
The health benefits of this medicine are as follows
Liver diseases
Rohitakarishta is considered an effective Ayurvedic medication for treating ascites. It helps by boosting the functions of the liver and preventing the engorgement of the blood vessels in the abdomen. It acts as a hepatoprotective agent and protects the liver from the damage caused by the consumption of alcohol. It also prevents the progression of alcoholic liver diseases thus reducing the risk of cirrhosis, which is the precursor to ascites. It also prevents the liver disorders like viral and bacterial hepatitis and fatty liver disease with its antiviral, antibacterial, and antioxidant actions. It destroys the bacteria and viruses that cause hepatitis. It also prevents damage to the liver tissues from the free radicals, and other toxins.
Splenic disorders
Rohitakarishta can be used to treat splenomegaly, a condition that causes enlargement of the spleen. It also corrects the abnormalities associated with the functions of this organ.

Rohitakarishta boosts the digestive functions and enhances the breakdown of food in the stomach and intestines thereby improving the absorption of nutrients. This ensures that the body is supplied with the essential nutrients consumed in the food. It also increases the secretion of gastric juices and thus, improves the digestion of proteins in the stomach.
