Pudīna Arka is a liquid preparation obtained by hydro-distillation of areial parts of Mentha viridis.
Contents
Formulation composition
| Pudīna API | Mentha viridis A. | Pt. | 1.0 kg |
| Jala API for soaking and for preparation of Arka | Potable Water | – | 30.0 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 Pudīna powder in a round bottom standard joint flask of 2.0 l capacity. Add 1.4 1 of Jala.
- Attach the proper distillation assembly with distillation and receiving heads, 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 700 ml of Arka.
- Store in containers and pack them air-tight to protect from light and moisture.[1]
Description
- Pudīna Arka is a slightly turbid liquid with a pleasant mint odour; slightly bitter to taste, producing a cooling sensation.
Storage
- Store in a cool place in tightly closed containers, protected from light and moisture.
Therapeutic uses
- Chardi (vomiting), Ajīrṇa (indigestion), Udaraśūla (abdominal pain), Agnimāndya (impaired digestive fire).
Dose
- 10 to 20 ml per day in divided doses.
