ABSTRACT

Sneha Kalpana is one of the important procedures among secondary preparations. But the importance of Kaalmaryada in Sneha preparation is less highlighted. Acharya Sharangdhara specified that Guda, Taila and Ghrit preparations should not be completed within one day in order to attain special properties to the preparations. Different time duration of Paka depends on the nature of Drava Dravyas used in the preparation. A research work to focus on importance of time duration in Sneha Kalpana is a need of this hour. Present study is designed to put more focus on theoretical aspects of time duration. As it is mentioned in our Classics that using Takra, Dadhi as Drava Dravya with Sneha should be completed within 5 nights and same principle is followed to ascertain the time duration comparatively in 3 samples of Ashtkatvar Tail i.e. 2 nights, 3 nights & 5 nights. Here, we provide a review of Sneha kalpana process in reference to Ashtkatvar Taila.
