Gajabala Ranahansa Rasayanaya is a classical Ayurvedic preparation made by the Sri Lanka Ayurvedic Drugs Corporation, a state manufacturer that has been producing traditional formulations for more than fifty-five years. The product belongs to the Rasayana category of Ayurvedic preparations — a family of compound formulations with deep roots in the written pharmacopoeia of Sri Lankan and South Asian traditional medicine. It is produced under the oversight of the SLADC, which was established by government gazette in 1969 and continues to supply Ayurvedic preparations to government hospitals, registered practitioners, and the general public.
The preparation comes in a glass jar sealed with a gold-coloured metal lid. The contents, a dark granular powder, are visible through the glass. The label carries a dark background with a pink and red border band, and the product name is printed in yellow across three scripts: Sinhala (රණහංස රසායනය), Tamil (கஜபல), and Latin (GAJABALA), reflecting the multilingual tradition of Sri Lankan Ayurvedic labelling. The 50 g jar is the size offered on this page.
The formulation contains a number of traditional Ayurvedic ingredients. Among those associated with this preparation are Aralu, Bulu, and Nelli — the three fruits collectively known in classical texts — alongside Thippili, Madanapala, Kaladuru, Sudu Rasakinda, Inginimadala, Gokatuwel, and Katuwelbatu. Prospective buyers should be aware that Opium (Papaver somniferum) is also listed as a component of this preparation. This is a controlled substance in many countries, and its inclusion is noted here plainly so that buyers can verify the legal position in their own jurisdiction before purchasing.
The suggested method of use, as noted in Ayurvedic guidance associated with this product, is half to one teaspoon taken with milk, or as directed by a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare professional. Anyone considering this preparation is encouraged to consult a practitioner before use, particularly given the nature of some of its ingredients. The SLADC is based in Nawinna, Maharagama, and its preparations are made to the standards of the official Ayurveda pharmacopoeia.
