Formulation NameDasamula Ghrta
MethodTake all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality. Clean and dry all the herbal raw materials thoroughly before pulverization. Treat Ghrta to prepare Moorchita Ghrta (Appendix 6.2.8.2). Pulverize ingredients numbered 1 to 10 (Kvatha dravya); to coarse powder; add 4 parts of water; keep for four hours; heat and reduce the volume to one-fourth. Filter with muslin cloth to obtain Dasamoola kvatha. Note: Stem bark of the ingredients number 1 to 5 & 15 of the formulation composition has been used. Treat Hingu to prepare Shodhita Hingu (Appendix 6.2.7.12.) and keep aside for addition during snehapaka. Take the other ingredients (kalka dravya) numbered 13 to 19 in the formulation composition; with the exception of Tulasi; clean; dry; powder and pass through sieve number 85. Grind Tulasi in a wet grinder. Transfer all the Kalka Dravyas (number 13 to 20) to the wet grinder and grind with sufficient quantity of water to prepare a homogeneous blend (Kalka). Take Moorchita Ghrta in a stainless steel vessel and heat mildly. Add increments of Kalka. Stir thoroughly while adding Dasamoola kvatha. Heat for 3 h with constant stirring maintaining the temperature between 50 and 900 during the first hour of heating. Stop heating and allow to stand overnight. Start heating next day and observe the boiling mixture for subsidence of froth (phena santi) and constantly check the kalka for formation of varti (madhyama paka lakshana). Expose the varti to flame and confirm the absence of crackling sound indicating absence of moisture. Stop heating when the kalka forms a varti and the froth subsides. Filter while hot (about 800) through a muslin cloth and allow to cool. Pack it in tightly closed glass containers to protect from light and moisture.
