Formulation composition
| Muṇḍītikta API | Sphaeranthus indicus | Fl. | 1.0 kg |
| Jala API for soaking and for preparation of | Arka Potable Water | – | 35.0 l |
Method of preparation
- Take the raw materials of pharmacopoeial quality.
- Wash, dry and powder the ingredient number 1 of the Formulation Composition and pass through the 355 µm I. S. sieve (sieve number 44) to obtain coarse powder.
- Place 100 g of Muṇḍītikta powder in a round bottom standard joint flask of 5.0 l capacity. Add 3.5 l of Jala.
- Attach the proper distillation assembly with double surface condenser and receiving flask and enough circulating water to condense the distillate i.e. Arka.
- Place the flask on a heating mantle. Adjust the temperature control when boiling starts and continue the distillation to collect about 2.0 l of Arka.
- Store in containers and pack them air-tight to protect from light and moisture.[1]
Description
- Muṇḍītikta Arka is a slightly turbid dark brownish liquid.
Storage
- Store in a cool place in tightly closed containers, protected from light and moisture.
