CHURNA KALPANA: TRADITIONAL POWDER FORMULATION AND ITS RELEVANCE IN AYURVEDIC PHARMACEUTICS

Abstract

The physical body, senses, psyche, and spirit are all included in Ayurveda. Accordingly, the complete health of a healthy individual is described as "a person whose body structure and functions in terms of doshas, dhatus, and malas are in a state of Samya or balance, as well as sensory, mental, and spiritual welfare." Ayurveda provided this definition of health at least a few thousand years ago, and it is superior than the more recent one put forward by the World Health Organization just a few decades ago. We learn more about ourselves and our relationship to nature from Ayurveda. Ayurveda promotes a holistic approach that treats the full person, not just the affected area. Restoring the equilibrium of the disrupted body-mind matrix involves controlling sleep, food, sexual pleasures, altering daily routines and behavior, and administering medication. The extended self-life, palatability, low dose, rapid action, ease of administering, and handling requirements were found to be satisfied by several upkalpanas, including Churna Kalpana. The author of this article aims to provide information about Churna Kalpana, including its benefits and drawbacks as well as its shelf life.
