subjectAbstract

In Bhaishajya Kalpana there is endorsement of five fundamental basic dosage forms namely Swarasa, Kalka, Kwatha, Hima, and Phanta. Kwatha Kalpana is one of the most useful kalpana among all these. Kwatha, is an important dosage form as it is indicated in many diseases. It is used as ophthalmic solutions, in niruh basti, in preparation of secondary dosage forms and as a bhavna dravya in many drug purification process and also in vrana prakshalana. It has some disadvantages too like difficulties in ensuring quality control of the herbal ingredients, inconvenience in preparation, transportation, and storage etc. So kwatha is implemented to various dosage forms to prolong shelf life, increase its potency, and for greater palatability like - Rasakriya and Ghana Kalpana, Powder/tablets/capsules, Granules, Syrup, Pravahi kwatha. As a result of all these modifications kwatha has become more palatable, with higher shelf life, portable and many more.
