An Itriful consist of 3 fruits - Terminalia chebula (Halaila), Terminalia belerica (Bahera) and Emblica officinali (Amla), its main ingredients known as 'Ter-phala'. Itrifuls are less-viscous than other forms of Unani preparations, and as a result are assimilated and excreted faster.
  • Itrifuls are mostly effective in elimination of waste material (ill-humors) from the body especially the brain, eyes, nose, ears, stomach and intestine. Prescriptions vary for illnesses ranging from headache, migraine, sinusitis, cataract, and otitis media to cold, flu, asthma, stomach ache, intestinal worms, blood impurities and piles.



Jawarish
  • A paste-like formulation prepared in honey and sugar and usually pleasant tasting. Jawarish is more viscous than an Itriful and its medicinal ingredients are not finely ground so as to retain the medicine in the stomach for a longer duration.
  • Jawarish are mostly indicated for stomach disorders and aid in digestion and intestinal cleansing.

This mix is then extensively kneaded, for an entire day in some formulations. The resulting preparation is highly viscous and smooth.
