MethodTake all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality. Wash and dry all the raw materials thoroughly. Treat Ghrta to prepare Moorchita Ghrta (Appendix 6.2.8.2). Pulverize Gokshura (kvatha dravya) to coarse powder and add 16 parts of water; heat and reduce the volume to one fourth. Filter with muslin cloth to obtain Gokshura kvatha. Treat Shilajatu to prepare Shodhita Shilajatu (Appendix 6.2.7.10); and keep aside for addition during snehapaka. Take the other ingredients (kalka dravya) numbered 3 and 5 to 15 in the formulation composition; powder and pass through sieve number 85. Wash and grind fresh Matsyakshika in a wet grinder and later transfer all the other powdered ingredients and Shodhita Shilajatu to the wet grinder and grind with sufficient quantity of water to prepare a homogeneous blend. Take Moorchita Ghrta in a stainless steel vessel and heat mildly. Add increments of Kalka. Stir thoroughly while adding Gokshoora kvatha and Godugdha in the 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. Start the 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.
