Using each of these ingredients exclusively (i.e., without mixing or combining with any other additive or ingredient) results in eighty four varieties of alcoholic preparations. All these are known as ''asava'' (self generated alcoholic preparation) because of the process of fermentation involved in their preparation. The outcome or result of these ''asavas'' (alcoholic preparations) is based on the combination, properties of ingredients and the process or method of preparation. Thus, a skillful Ayurvedic practitioner proficient in the art of preparing ''asavas'' should be able to concoct a preparation with the right combination of ingredients, depending upon the ''doshas'' of the patient, his physical constitution, time, season, location, and other factors [48-49]
