MethodTake all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality. Wash and dry all the herbal raw materials thoroughly. Treat Eranda taila to prepare Moorchita Eranda Taila (Appendix 6.2.8.1). Pulverize the dried ingredients numbered 1 to 3 (kvatha dravya) to a coarse powder; add required amount of water; heat and reduce the volume to one fourth. Filter with muslin cloth to obtain kvatha. Take the other ingredients (kalka dravyas) numbered 7 and 8 of the formulation composition; dry; powder and pass through sieve number 85. Transfer the powdered ingredients to wet grinder and grind with sufficient quantity of water to prepare a homogeneous blend. Take Moorchita Taila in a stainless steel vessel and heat it mildly. Add increments of Kalka. Stir thoroughly while adding the Kvatha and Godugdha. 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. Start the heating next day; stir and observe the boiling mixture for appearance of froth 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 appears. Filter while hot (about 800) through a muslin cloth and allow to cool. Pack it in tightly closed containers to protect from light and moisture.
