'''Punarnava Arka''' is a liquid preparation obtained by hydro-distillation of roots of Boerhaavia diffusa.
==Formulation composition==
==Method of preparation==
*Take all ingredients 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 Punarnava powder in a round bottom standard joint flask of 5.0 l capacity. Add 3.5 l of Jala.
*Attach the proper distillation assembly, 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<ref name="AYURVEDIC PHARMACOPOEIA OF INDIA"/>
