Abstract

Sandhana Kalpana, an age-old Ayurvedic remedy, has withstood the test of time and is renowned for its remarkable efficacy. The fundamental concept guiding the creation of Sandhana Kalpana involves extracting active components through a distinctive biochemical fermentation process that occurs in a mildly self-generated alcoholic environment. The formulation of Samangadi Arishta is based on the ingredients derived from the Samangadi Kwatha formulation mentioned in Chakradatta, primarily designed for addressing Atisara. While Kwatha needs to be prepared and used immediately due to its limited shelf life, Arishta boosts an extended shelf life and is also easier for administration. Given these considerations, the current study is designed to formulate Samangadi Arishta using the ingredients from Samangadi Kwatha. Methodology: In pharmaceutical study, the preparation of Samangadi Arishta was carried out using Samangadi Kwatha Dravyas according to the Anukta mana reference of Sharngadhara Samhitha. Results: The pharmaceutical study conducted using the Anukta Mana Arishta of Sharngadhara demonstrated that a standardized Arishta of high quality can be formulated using Kwatha Dravya.
