== Formulation of medicines that can generate happiness ==
Ayurveda medicine can eb given in various forms known as formulations. Powders, juices, decoctions, fermented preparations, herbal paste, tablets are different formulations available. Among all these forms, the fermented alcoholic preparations known as Asavas and Arishtas are the medicinal formulations that by their inherent properties have capacity to generate feeling of happiness and wellbeing.

This actually happens dur to the self geenrated alcoholic content in these formulations. Madya is the word used to indicate alcohol and while describing the use fo mady aas a medicine ,the peroperties of the same have been discussed. Harshana i.e. to generate happiness is one of the properties of madya itself described in Ayurveda and it is also widely experienced especially in the first phase. Mostly because of this, people get addicted to it and that ultimately ruins the complete health.
