ABSTRACT

Rasa Shastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana is the basic science of Ayurvedic pharmaceutics. Now a days Ayurvedic preparations are commonly used and have become very popular. Sneha Kalpana is described in Bhaishajya Kalpana and it is found to be commonly used in day to day Ayurvedic practice. 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 Ghrita 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. Evaluation will be carried out on the basis of Physico-Chemical parameters. Even though pharmaceutical observations indicates that Oil attains more viscosity as time duration increased, Other Analytical parameters supports sample C (Within 5 nights). Here I conclude that all the Analytical parameters support the Sneha which is prepared with Takra and Dadhi within 5 nights shows significant results.
