Method of preparation

  • Take all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality.
  • Cut Palāśa into small pieces and dry completely. Burn to ash (Bhasma).
  • Add 6 parts of water to Bhasma, stir well and keep over night.
  • Next morning decant the clear liquid and filter through a three-layered muslin cloth.
  • Repeat the filtering process till a colourless filtrate is obtained. Transfer filtered material to a stainless steel vessel and heat to evaporate the water.
  • Collect ksāra deposited as flakes from the bottom of the vessel and grind to a fine powder.
