Abstract
Kshara Kalpana is one amongst the various preparations used in Ayurvedic clinical practice. It is most widely used in surgical and para-surgical procedures. Aacharya Sushruta has included it under the heading of Anushashtra, Upayantra, Agropaharneeya and one among the Upakrama for Vrana. Its internal use has also been advocated by various classical texts. Many plants are mentioned for the preparation of Kshara by different classical texts. One of them is Apamarga. Its latin name is Achyranthes Aspera which is a herb about 0.33 to 1 meter in height with branched or unbranched stem. It is found all over India in dry lands. A typical processing technique is involved in the preparation of Kshara. We find references depicting different opinions for the preparation of Kshara in various classical texts. For the present study reference mentioned in Sushruta Samhita was followed. Here two solvents are mentioned for the preparation viz. Jala and Gomutra. To evaluate the difference between the pharmaceutical preparation of the two samples the present study was undertaken.
