Abstract
Samskara is an important concept led by ancient Ayurveda scholars and is defined as transformation of the inherent attributes of a substance which leads to the addition of new properties. Samskara does qualitative alteration in the substance for the improvement, enhancement, modifications, lowering bad effects and any such procedure. Various modes of Samskara are mentioned in Ayurvedic pharmaceutics such as Svedana (steaming), Mardana (grinding), Manthana (churning), Bhavana(wet grinding) etc. Bhavana is a process of wet grinding in which drug powders are ground with specific liquid media for particular period to bring minute particles of the drug come in contact with the liquid media. Impregnation of the properties of the liquid media to the drug leads to unique and suitable physico –chemical changes in drug, hence the potentiation of therapeutic efficacy.
