Abstract
Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, emphasizes holistic healing through natural remedies. Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana play an important role in this healing with natural remedies or medicines. Sandhan Kalpana is one such specialized branch that comes under Bhaishajya Kalpana that deals with the fermentation process to prepare various medicinal formulations. These formulations contain self-generated alcohol, which acts as a natural preservative and enhances the absorption of active ingredients. It has various benefits including ease of administration, long shelf life, palatability, and faster action in less dosage. Asava are prepared using fresh juices of herbs and Arishta are prepared using Decoction of Herbs. Khadirarishta is one such classical Ayurvedic formulation, which has been traditionally employed to manage all kinds of Skin disorders, gastrointestinal ailments like krumi, gulma etc and heart conditions. Khadirarishta is mentioned in many Ayurvedic Granths, but for the current study the reference is taken from Bhaishajya Ratnavali In this study Khadirarishta is prepared and fermented for one month period and then it is analyzed for its physicochemical properties.
