Lol… kaba asuran, that’s dumb! Kabasurakudi neer means phlegm fever water – kabam is one of the three humors (vaatham, piththam, kabam) according to siddha and suram or juram mean fever.
would this be too strong as a preventative for those with pitta constitutions/ imbalances?
Yes, but they can add double the quantity of water to it, just before consumption. This way, the Pitta aggravation effect will be reduced to some extent.
