Formulation NameAsanabilvadi Taila
Method Take all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality.  Treat Tila taila to prepare murcchita Tila taila (Appendix 6.2.9.4).  Wash; clean; dry the ingredients numbered 1 to 4 of the Formulation Composition; powder separately and pass through 355 nm I. S. sieve (sieve number 44) (kvatha dravya).  Add water for decoction to the kvatha dravya and soak for 4 h; heat and reduce the volume to one-fourth. Filter through muslin cloth to obtain kvatha.  Wash; dry the ingredients numbered 6 to 8 (kalka dravya) of the Formulation Composition; powder separately and pass through 180 nm I. S. sieve (sieve number 85) to obtain fine powder.  Transfer the powdered ingredients to wet grinder and grind with sufficient quantity of water to prepare homogeneous blend (kalka).  Take murcchita Tila taila in a stainless steel vessel and heat it.  Add increments of kalka; stir thoroughly while adding kvatha. ∗ Part actually used in the formulation  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.  Next day; add Godugdha and continue the process of heating. Constantly check the kalka by rolling between the fingers.  Stop the heating when the kalka easily rolls into a varti without sticking (Madhyama paka laksana) to the fingers and at the appearance of froth (phenodgama) over the oil. Expose the varti 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.
