What Is Sanjivani Vati?
Sanjivani Vati is a classical Ayurvedic polyherbal Vati/Gutika formulation. Ayurvedic references describe its ten principal ingredients in equal proportions, followed by processing with Gomutra.
A recent pharmaceutical standardization study conducted at the All India Institute of Ayurveda, New Delhi describes the preparation in three main stages: Shodhana, powdering and Vati preparation. The study specifically notes that Bhallataka and Vatsanabha are Visha/Upavisha substances requiring meticulous Shodhana before use.
Ingredients / Composition
The classical formulation is reported as:
| Ingredient | Botanical Name | Part Used |
|---|---|---|
| Vidanga | Embelia ribes | Dried fruit |
| Nagara / Shunthi | Zingiber officinale | Dried rhizome |
| Krishna / Pippali | Piper longum | Fruit |
| Pathya / Haritaki | Terminalia chebula | Pericarp |
| Amala / Amalaki | Phyllanthus emblica | Pericarp |
| Bibhitaki | Terminalia bellirica | Fruit/pericarp |
| Vacha | Acorus calamus | Rhizome |
| Guduchi | Tinospora cordifolia | Stem |
| Shuddha Bhallataka | Semecarpus anacardium | Processed fruit |
| Shuddha Vatsanabha | Aconitum spp. used according to specification | Processed root/tuber |
Gomutra is used as the Bhavana/Mardana medium in the classical preparation.
The exact Vatsanabha species can vary between preparations. Recent AIIA research evaluated preparations made using Aconitum napellus and Aconitum balfourii, demonstrating the importance of verifying the manufacturer's actual specification.

How to Use
Use only according to the manufacturer's label or a qualified Ayurvedic physician's direction.
The dose and accompanying vehicle (Anupana) depend on the exact formulation and individual circumstances. The AYUSH Essential Drugs List gives 125 mg as a reference dose for Sanjivani Vati, while commercial products may have different tablet strengths and instructions.
Do not self-medicate or increase the dose independently.
Traditional Preparation Concept
A generalized professional preparation sequence is:
Authentication of Raw Materials → Shodhana of Visha/Upavisha Ingredients → Individual Powdering → Mixing → Gomutra Bhavana/Mardana → Vati/Gutika Formation → Drying → Quality Testing
Published research confirms that classical Sanjivani Vati preparation specifically involves Shodhana of Vatsanabha and Bhallataka, followed by powdering, levigation and tablet preparation.
Homemade Remedy
No homemade remedy is recommended.
Sanjivani Vati should not be recreated or compounded at home, particularly because the classical formulation includes processed Vatsanabha and Bhallataka. The purification and pharmaceutical processing of these ingredients require specialized expertise.

Sanjivani Vati is a classical Ayurvedic herbo-mineral/processed-herbal formulation containing Vatsanabha and Bhallataka, and should not be represented as an ordinary "herbal wellness" tablet. Exact Vatsanabha species, tablet strength and formulation can vary, so the actual manufacturer's label, batch specification and qualified practitioner's instructions should take precedence.
