In classics of Ayurveda, we do not find Bhaishajya Kalpana separately mentioned in any of its 8 branches because the essence of Bhaishajya Kalpana is scattered in all the eight branches of Ayurveda1. It involves preparation of various medicinal formulations told in Ayurveda. Bhaishajya is a substance or preparation used in the treatment of illness and Kalpana is the process employed for the preparation of pharmaceutical products. The Churna Kalpana is an upakalpana of Kalka Kalpana. Many poly herbal Ayurvedic formulations are processed in the form of churna.
