Abstract
Sneha kalpanais one of the unique and commonly prescribed Ayurvedic dosage form in day to day practice having increase potency, palatability, shelf life etc. Although lots of verities of Snehas are described in Ayurvedic texts, the most common amongst them are Taila & Ghrita kalpana. It is a pharmaceutical process to prepare oleaginous medicament from the substances like Kalka, Sneha Dravya and Drava Dravyain specific proportion by subjecting to unique heating pattern and duration, to fulfil certain parameters according to need of therapeutics (i.e. Mridu, Maddhya & Khar). Sneha Siddha (fat soluble) drugs have better pharmacokinetic action in comparison to other dosage forms, because the use of Ghrita as a base is presumably to extract or hold lipid soluble active ingredients from the herbal drugs used and these lipid soluble substances readily permeate into the bio membrane of cells due to its lipidnature. The conceptual study suggests that Shatapala Ghritais used to treat Jwaramainly Vata and Kapha Doshapredominant. Standardization is the process of developing and agreeing upon technical standards and provides numerical value which quantifies the parameter and thus denotes the quality of formulations.Murchanaperformed on Go-Ghritamakes it a better medium for the solubility of the drug and imparts all the specific properties to theGhritawhich can be used to increase the efficacy of the drugs. Hence, it can be inferred that the medicated Ghrita should be prepared by taking the Murchhita Ghritaas ingredient rather without Ghrita Murchhana. In so many Ghrita kalpanas, Shatapala Ghritais a ghee based Ayurvedic formulation described in Samhitasand various Rasa textswith different name and slightly changes in contents. It has broad indication such as enlarge spleen (splenomegaly), Vishamajwara, Mandaagni, Rajyakshma etc.
