Critical review of Saptasama Vati
Abstract
Rasa Shastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana is the pharmaceutical branch of Ayurveda and deals with standardization of herbal, mineral and herbo-mineral formulations. Visha-Upavisha are considered highly valuable as they are fast acting even in smaller doses. Bhallataka is one among potent Upavisha, used in various formulations. Saptasama Vati is one such formulation containing Bhallataka as the main ingredient which is considered as an Upavisha mentioned in Bharata Bhaishajya Ratnakara. Saptasama Vati contains Trikatu, Triphala, Tila, Shuddha Bhallataka, Mishri, Ghrita and Madhu. The present work is an attempt to emphasis the Patha Bheda, preparation, indications of Saptasama Vati.
