Clean; dry; powder the ingredients number 4 to 12 (Prakshepa Dravya) of the formulation composition and pass through sieve number 85 to obtain fine powder. Add specified amounts of water to the Kvatha Dravya; heat; reduce to one fourth and filter through muslin cloth. Add jaggery to the Kvatha; boil to dissolve and filter through muslin cloth. Reduce the kvatha to thicker consistency by gentle boiling and stirring continuously during the process.

Remove from heat source and allow to cool to room temperature. Add fine powders of Prakshepa Dravya; mix thoroughly to prepare a homogeneous mass.
