Abstract

Choorna preparations are the pulverized products of Ayurveda medicine which are widely used by Ayurveda physicians in Indian subcontinent. Avipattikara Choorna, Lavana Bhaskara Choorna,  Gangadhara Choorna,  Swadishta Virechana Choorna,  Pancha Sakara Choorna,  Shatsakara Choorna,  Talisadi Choorna,  Sitopaladi Choorna,  and Triphala Choorna are few formulations which are commonly used in Ayurveda practice.  Choornas are easy to prepare and easy to administer also. However, they should be stored after airtight packing.  Otherwise, they get spoiled and their pharmacological action is lost. Hingwashtaka Choorna is one such preparation which is generally used as appetizer, digestant and carminative also. In diseases like Agnimandya, Ajirna, Atisara, Malabandha, Udarashoola, Kukshi Shoola,  Anaha, Adhmana and Atopa, Hingwashtaka Choorna gives good results. The present paper highlights about the clinical indications of Hingwashtaka Choorna in an experiential and scientific view.
