Abstract

There are many fermented preparations mentioned in Ayurvedic pharmaceutics since ancient times. These are known as Sandhana Kalpas in Ayurveda. Asavarishtas are medicated self generated alcohol containing preparations which could be kept for longer period for preserving the properties of the drugs. The term Arishta used is an indicative of nature of these preparations. These are not deteriorated by passing of time as said in Sharangadhara Samhita while describing shelf life of various preparations that Asavarishtas retain their properties even after becoming older. Parpatadyarishta is the formulation explained in the text Sahasrayoga Arishta Prakarana. In the present study, the detailed pharmaceutical process of Parpatadyarishta preparation and observations with changes observed in physical parameters has been discussed. This work was done to find the preliminary standards of analytical tests.
