Abstract
Snuhi is an Upavisha which is used in many diseases. The latex of the plant is poisonous, so it has to be purified before using in any formulation. As per the classics, Shodhan of Snuhi Ksheer is performed by Chincha Patra Swaras (Tamarind leaf juice). Snuhi Ksheer is used in making Kshar Sutra, as well as it is used in many sys-temic GIT disorders, skin diseases etc. Sap from the Snuhi plant contains polycyclic diterpene esters, which give it a highly caustic and irritating quality that burns the skin and eyes. Snuhi Ksheer (SK) is applied topically and topically to treat a variety of ailments. Despite Snuhi's potential for medicinal benefits, its toxic nature discour-ages use. In Rasatarangini chapter 24, the author mentioned that purification of Snuhi Ksheer is compulsory, when it is therapeutically used. So, the present study is done on the purification of Snuhi Ksheer. It was collect-ed, taking precautions and then purified with Chincha Patra Swaras . Organoleptic and physicochemical analy-sis of both Shodhit and Ashodhit Snuhi Ksheer was performed. The result shows changes in various parameters after purification, concluding that purification by Chincha Patra Swaras alters the poisonous nature of Snuhi Ksheer and makes it safe to use.
