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 Yavāni powder in a round bottom standard joint flask of 2.0 l capacity. Add 1.2 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 700 ml of Arka.
- Store in containers and pack them air-tight to protect from light and moisture.[1]
Description
- Yavāni Arka is a colourless slightly cloudy liquid with the characteristic odour of Yavaani with a bitter burning taste
Storage
- Store in a cool place in tightly closed containers, protected from light and moisture.
Therapeutic uses
- Agnimāndya (digestive impairment); Trikaśūla (pain in sacral region).
Dose
- 10 to 20 ml per day in divided doses.
Physico-chemical parameters
| Specific gravity (200) | 0.995 to 0.999 |
