Abstract

Harita has explained seven types of Kwatha. Among the seven types of Kwatha 1/10th reduction and ½ reduction are said to be having Deepana and Pachana action respectively. The study is planned to study the concept of Deepana and Pachana Kwatha as explained by Harita. For this study, a well known Deepana- Pachana drug i.e. Chitraka is selected and the Kwatha is prepared. In the present study, the Deepana Kwatha (1/10th reduction), Pachana Kwatha(1/2 reduction) are compared with that of the Kwatha prepared by the 3/4th reduction in terms of analytical parameters and the findings were analysed.
