Method Take all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality.  Treat Sarsapa taila to prepare murcchita Sarsapa taila (Appendix 6.2.9.3).  Treat Hingu to prepare Hingu - Shuddha (Appendix 6.2.8.15).  Wash; clean; dry the ingredients numbered 2 and 3 of the Formulation Composition; powder separately and pass through 180 nm I. S. sieve. Transfer the powdered ingredients to wet grinder and grind with sufficient quantity of water to prepare homogenous blend (kalka).  Take murcchita Sarsapa Taila in a stainless steel vessel and heat it.  Add increments of kalka. Stir thoroughly while adding the water in specified ratio.  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.
