Arogyavardhini Vati – Ayurvedic Formula for Digestive, Liver & Metabolic Support

Arogyavardhini Vati is a classical Ayurvedic formulation traditionally used to support liver health, digestion, metabolism, and skin wellness. Various classical references describe slight variations in composition; hence, different manufacturers may prepare the formulation with adjustments while keeping the core therapeutic principle intact.

Known for its ability to enhance Arogya (overall wellness) and strengthen Agni (digestive fire), this formulation is valued for restoring balance in Pitta and Kapha disorders.
