PHARMACEUTICAL MODIFICATION OF HINGWASHTAKA CHURNA INTO ARKA (DISTILLATE) FORM

Numerous dosage forms, including churna, vati, avaleha, modaka, asava-arishta, and others, were described in Ayurveda. The acharyas have granted freedom to create various formulas. The colour and taste of Ayurvedic medicines are now drawing increasing attention from society. By making simple changes, we can alter the colour and avour of Ayurvedic medications. The best technique to present Ayurvedic medicines in a fresh way is through pharmaceutical modication. One Ayurvedic medicine in the powder form with signicant therapeutic value is Hingwashtaka churna. Due to its palatability, distinctive fragrance, and colour, form, it is considered to be challenging to deliver to children. Here's an attempt to make Arka (Distillate) from Hingwashtaka churna, changing the medication's solid (powder) form to liquid. Prepared Arka (Distillate) was administered to different age grouped healthy volunteers; feedback was good in terms of palatability.
