| Method | Take all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality. Treat Tila taila to prepare murcchita Tila taila (Appendix 6.2.9.4). Add 6 parts of water to 1 part of Ksara (Appendix 6.2.3); and dissolve completely (Ksara jala). Wash; clean; dry the ingredient number 4 of the Formulation Composition; powder and pass through 180 nm I. S. sieve (sieve number 85) (kalka dravya). Transfer the powder to wet grinder and grind with sufficient quantity of water to prepare homogenous blend (kalka). Take murcchita Tila Taila in a stainless steel vessel and heat it. Add increments of kalka. Stir thoroughly while adding the Ksara jala. Heat for 3 h with constant stirring maintaining the temperature between 500 and 900 during the first hour of heating. Stop heating and allow to stand overnight. Continue the process of heating intermittently over a period of three days. Constantly check the kalka by rolling between the fingers. Stop the heating when the kalka breaks down into pieces on attempting to form a varti (khara paka laksana) and at the appearance of froth (phenodgama) over the oil. Expose the kalka and oil to flame and confirm the absence of crackling sound indicating absence of moisture. Filter while hot (about 800) through a muslin cloth and allow to cool. Store it in glass containers and pack them air-tight to protect from light and moisture. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
