MethodTake all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality. Wash; clean and dry the ingredients numbered 1 to 12 of the formulation composition; powder separately and pass through sieve number 44 (Kvatha Dravya). Wash; clean; dry the ingredients numbered 16 to 21 of the formulation composition; powder separately and pass through sieve number 85 (Kalka Dravyas). Add water for decoction to the Kvatha Dravyas and soak for four hours; heat and reduce the volume to one-fourth. Filter with muslin cloth to obtain Kvatha. Transfer the Kalka Dravyas to the wet grinder and grind with sufficient quantity of water to prepare homogeneous blend. Take Ghrita in a stainless steel vessel and heat mildly to remove moisture if any. Add increments of Kalka. Stir thoroughly while adding Kvatha and Godugdha. Heat for 3 h with constant stirring maintaining the temperature between 50 0 and 900 during the first hour of heating. Stop heating and allow to stand overnight. Start the heating next day and observe the boiling mixture for subsidence of froth (Phenasanti) and constantly check the Kalka for formation of Varti (Madhyamapaka Laksana). 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.
