The
company had recently launched 'Laboob Sager', herbal
aphrodisiac using an ancient 'Sastric' Unani
formulation, billing the drug as substitute for the
costly Viagra with "no side effects" and it become a
runaway hit with good demand. Rajkumar said the herbal
extracts that would be added with the water include 'tulsi'
(holy basil), 'nannari' (Indian sarasaparilla) and 'Adhimadhuram'
(licorice). "Volatile active properties from these
herbal extracts are obtained by steam distillation
process and are mixed with the drinking water in
suitable proportions," Rajkumar said.
