SLADC Amurtharishtaya is a traditional fermented herbal liquid whose name comes from amurtha, the classical name for heart-leaved moonseed. Fermentation produces a small amount of natural alcohol, 5 to 8 percent by the corporation's figure.
Among its ingredients are heart-leaved moonseed (Tinospora cordifolia, rasakinda), cumin (Cuminum cyminum, suduru), yellow-berried nightshade (Solanum xanthocarpum, katuwelbatu), eggplant (Solanum melongena, elabatu), nut grass (Cyperus rotundus, kalanduru) and kutki (Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora, katukarosana). It is sold in 375 ml and 750 ml bottles.
