Abstract

Reduction of dosage is the prime concern in Ayurveda, because of which many samskara’s have been adopted in order to increase the potency as well as shelf life and reduction of dose. Samskara means to bring a transformation; or to bring a new quality which was not existed earlier. Thus these methods are being adopted to remove the unwanted qualities of the drug and to insert a stipulated quality into it and can be understood as the procedure adopted in which a Drug/Formulation is triturated with a liquid media (Swarasa; Kwatha; Kanji; Ksheera; Mutra etc) till it gets dried. Murvadi Agada is herbal formulation which is indicated in the acute GI manifestations needs to be potentiated in order to increase its veerya. So the present study intended to evaluate the changes which are occurring in phytochemicals of Murvadi agada before and after Bhavana with its own kashaya and also to evaluate the changes occurring in the particle size during Bhavana while triturating continuously. In present study there was marked reduction in the particle size.

Keywords: Bhavana samskar; Murvadi agada; Particle size.
