AVALEHA KALPANA: SEMI SOLID AYURVEDIC FORMULATION

Abstract

Rasa shastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana in Ayurvedic medicine relate to compositions made from materials of plant, animal, mineral, and metallic origin. The most popular supplementary dose type is an Avaleha Kalpana (medicament semisolid concoction), which is made by boiling the prescription medication using jaggery, sugar, or sugar candies (decoction). Sushrut, Vagbhat, and Acharya Charak are all employed as a rejuvenator. Simply because of its effortless dosing, consumer acceptability, and prolonged shelf life, it is growing more and more renowned every day. Drug administration via the oral transmucosal pathway has always demonstrated tremendous potential for both regional and localization. Avaleha form could be contrasted to British Pharmacopoeia confection or electuaries conserves. Confection form is the method of blending insoluble granules into a paste with sugars, syrup, and honey in order to deliver significant amounts of them into a delectable form. The notion of Avaleha Kalpana (medicated semisolid preparation) was examined in this study using sources such as Ayurvedic literary works, periodicals, The Ayurvedic Formulary of India, The Ayurvedic Pharmacopeia of India, and others.
