| Method | Take all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality. Treat Ghrta to prepare Moorchita Ghrta (Appendix 6.2.8.2). Take the ingredients (kalka dravya) numbered 2 to 8; wash; dry; powder and pass through sieve number 85. Transfer the powdered ingredients to the wet grinder; add ingredient number 9 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 Aja-kshira and water. 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 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
