Abstract

Introduction: Bramhi ghrita is well known for its medhya action. It is beneficial in the treatment of Apasmara, Unmada and Grahabadha. For preparation of Bramhi ghrita, firstly ghrita is subjected to the murchana process due to which it looses durganadha and aamata. Sometimes the ghrita is prepared without performing the murchana process. The present study is conducted to study the pharmaceuticoanalytical properties of Bramhi ghrita prepared from plain ghrita and murchita ghrita and compare it with the market sample. The present study was conducted to note the difference in properties of Bramhi ghrita prepared from plain and murchit ghrita but also to detect if the self prepared samples are of standard quality by comparing it with the market sample. Aim: To study comparatively, the pharmaceuticoanalytical properties of Bramhi ghrita prepared from plain and murchit ghrita and compare it with the market sample. Materials and Methods: Bramhi Ghrita was prepared from murchit ghrita and plain ghrita according to the reference of Bhavprakasha. The two samples were then sent to laboratory for further study. The physico-chemical properties were compared with the market sample. Observations and Results: The difference in properties of the two self prepared samples of Bramhi ghrita and market samples was less significant. Conclusions: The self prepared samples were of same standards as market sample. There was no significant difference in analytical properties of Bramhi ghrita prepared from plain ghrita and murchita ghrita.

Keywords: Bramhi ghrita, murchita, analytical.
