Anupana: Essentially to be taken with Milk.
MethodTake all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality. Weigh the ingredients of prakshepa dravya numbered 7 to 32 of the Formulation composition; clean dry; powder separately and pass through sieve number 85. Take fully mature and dry poogaphala (areca nuts) and break it into small pieces of about 0.5 – 1.0 cm in diameter; tie them in a muslin cloth to form a bundle (Pottali) and immerse into milk in a stainless steel vessel (Dolayantra vidhi) and boil for 3 h. Wash the bundle with warm water (500 to 550) and repeat washing for three times*. Dry these processed Poogaphala in a tray-dryer at a temperature not exceeding 600. Grind the dried pieces and sieve through 85 mesh. Fry the powder in Ghrta at low temperature between 600-700. Crush the fresh amalaki; strain through a muslin cloth to obtain juice. Take fresh Shatavari roots and wash. Remove the outer layer (epiblema) and express the juice with the help of juicer. Add sugar (Sita) to the mixture of above juices; heat till syrup forms. Add sodhita Poogaphala powder with continuous stirring till it becomes a thick paste. Remove the utensil from the fire and stir continuously while adding Prakshepa dravya. Allow to cool down into granules. Spread the granules in a stainless steel tray and allow to dry. Pack the granules in tightly closed containers to protect from light and moisture.
