Drakshasava (Sanskrit: द्राक्षासव) is a traditional Ayurvedic tonic made from grapes.[1] Drakshasava is a weak wine because the grape juice is usually only partially fermented.[2] It is also sometimes prepared by using raisin concentrate.[3] The tonic is claimed to be beneficial for maladies such as lethargy, weakness and heat exhaustion.[3] Drakshasava is believed to address health imbalances arising from an excess of the Vata-Vayu Dosha[4] and is said to be useful in curing cardiac disorders and hemorrhoids[citation needed] in the Ayurvedic system.[4]
