Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Introduction Leha or avaleha is an important ayurvedic formulation which is in semi solid consistency. It is the most accepted varieties of ayurvedic dosage forms because of its easy administration, long shelf life and palatability. Bhaishajya kalpana text gives the general method of preparation of avaleha but few avalehas specified in authoritative books of ayurveda, deviate from general method of preparation. Hence a literary search was done to find out the different methods of preparation of avaleha. Materials and Methods An extensive literary review was done in authentic books of bhaishajya kalpana and other books for avalehas having different preparatory methods. Result In total, ten different methods of preparation of avaleha were found. Broadly these methods can be classified as niragni(without the use of fire) and saagni(with use of fire). Discussion The formulations are included in this work, considering the word meaning of leha (that which is licked) and the definition of leha(reheating of kwatha etc).The features of avaleha siddha lakshana were also taken in to consideration for the inclusion. The nomenclature in bhaishajya ratnavali and AFI also supports the inclusion of some formulations under avaleha. Based on ease and convenience of preparation the most suitable method can be adopted.
