Every product we sell is a licensed Ayurvedic medicine made at a GMP-certified unit in Wayanad, Kerala. This page publishes the licence numbers so you can check them rather than take our word for it.
Our own drug licence
Two of our products — Thrupthan Migraine Oil and Samhara Skin Solution — are Thathasthu formulations approved under our own licence.

What a loan licence actually is
A loan licence under Rule 154-A of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules lets a company manufacture its own approved formulations on someone else's licensed premises, instead of building and certifying a factory of its own.
The licence, the formulation and the product approval are ours. The premises, the equipment and the expert technical staff are Aswini Ayurvedic Pharmacy's. Each product carries its own approved product code, and manufacture happens under the supervision named on the licence.
It is a normal, fully regulated arrangement, and it is the reason a small Wayanad company can put out a properly licensed Ayurvedic medicine rather than an unregulated "herbal" product with no licence at all.
The manufacturing unit
Both our own formulations and the Aswini range we stock are made at the same premises.

|---|---|
| Unit | Aswini Ayurvedic Pharmacy |

| GMP certificate | No. 976, Form 26 E-I under Rule 155-B |

| Valid to | 24 July 2028 |

Approved dosage forms
The unit's GMP certification covers six dosage forms. That range is why a single unit can produce an oil, a churna and a rasayanam to the same standard:
- Arishtasavam — fermented preparations
- Thailam / Kuzhambu — medicated oils. Our Thrupthan, and the Vasabringamalakadi, Karmukhil and Orthokare oils
- Kashayam — decoctions
- Lehyam — semi-solid preparations. Sidhikalpam Rasayanam
- Choornam — powders. Diacare powder
- Gulika — tablets and pills
Who supervises manufacture
Our licence names the expert technical staff responsible for production and quality control at the premises:
| Name | Qualification | Registration | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dr. K.S. Surendra Mohan | DAM | Reg. No. 3771 | Manufacturing |
| Dr. Rakhi Mohan | BAMS | Reg. No. 9523 | Quality control |
| Amjatha M.A | BSc Chemistry | — | Quality control |
What GMP under Schedule T means
Schedule T sets out the requirements for Good Manufacturing Practice in Ayurvedic, Siddha and Unani manufacture: the premises and their layout, equipment, water quality, raw-material identification and testing, batch records, and qualified technical staff on site.
A GMP certificate is issued after inspection by the state drugs authority and runs for five years. It is not a badge a company can award itself, which is exactly why it is worth looking for. A great many Ayurvedic products sold online come from units holding no such certification, and nothing on the listing would tell you.
