Sarasingha Rasayanaya is a traditional Sri Lankan Ayurvedic preparation made by Sewanagala Ayurvedic Drugs Manufacture (Pvt) Ltd, a company with roots going back to 1983. It belongs to the Rasayana category of Ayurvedic preparations — a word that translates roughly as 'the path of essence' — and is classified as an Ayurvedic drug under Sri Lanka's Ayurveda Act, registered with the Department of Ayurveda. The 250g preparation comes in a glass jar with a gold metal lid, sealed for a shelf life of three years.
The ingredient list spans several plant-based materials drawn from Sri Lankan and South Asian herbal tradition. Valpenela, known in English as the balloon plant, is a climbing tropical plant in the Sapindaceae family. Hathawariya ala, or wild asparagus racemosus, contributes its tuber to the blend alongside Ottaa ala, the tuber of golden eye-grass, a flowering plant native to the Indian subcontinent and long present in Ayurvedic practice. Licorice root — called Valmi in Sinhala — lends its characteristic woody sweetness, while Rahavala, identified on the packaging as Cassia auriculata, and Amukkara ala, known more widely as Ashwagandha, round out the core botanicals. Wild potato tuber, black-eyed beans, and honey are also listed, along with additional herbal ingredients. The manufacturer states the formulation draws entirely on domestically grown plant material.
The preparation takes a soft, electuary-like form — a thick, spoonable consistency typical of a Rasayanaya — rather than a tablet or liquid. Honey functions as part of the base, binding the herbal components into a cohesive preparation. The jar format keeps the product stable and protects it from moisture, and the three-year shelf life reflects this stability.
Sewanagala Ayurvedic Drugs Manufacture (Pvt) Ltd operates from Bogaha Junction, Kiriibbanwewa, in the Sewanagala area of Sri Lanka. The company holds company registration number PV 108222 and Ayurveda registration number 6/2/1/12/3, and the product itself carries the registration code SASR/AE/024 on the label. The brand's presence since 1983 places it among the longer-established licensed Ayurvedic manufacturers in the country.
The recommended use, as printed on the packaging in Sinhala, Tamil, and English, is two Kalangs — equivalent to 10g — taken twice daily, stirred into fresh cow's milk. The packaging advises confirming use with a physician. As with all Ayurvedic drugs, this preparation is intended to be used within the framework of traditional Ayurvedic practice rather than as a standalone supplement.
