ABSTRACT

Advances in Ayurveda pharmaceutics is just like an old ghrita in a new bottle. The basic principle of Ayurveda is same as advised by Acharya in Ayurveda classical books. We can change the only way of presentation by using modern technologies. Panchavidh Kashay Kalpana, Avaleha, Gutika, Asav etc are the Ayurveda dosage forms which can be broadly divide into solid, semisolid and liquid forms. In Ayurvedic clinical practice, practitioner faces difficulties during prescribe Ayurvedic doses form due to its appearance, non palatable, non portability. Because of these demerits, it’s a great challenge in front of Ayurveda pharmaceutics to improve ayurveda doses forms which will be easily palatable, long shelf life, simplify to dispense, easily portable, good appearance with increasing therapeutic utility and potency. Present paper aimed to describe advances in Ayurveda doses forms i.e. solid (Rasaushadhies, Vati etc), Semisolid (Avaleha, Ghrita etc), Liquids (Panchavidh kashay kalpana, Asav, Arishta) with clinical approach through its merits and demerits. Extract of paper concluded that all Kalpana or doses forms are aimed with isolation of active principle through different media by application of modern technologies. And with this aim we must insure that the quality or efficacy must be remain original as possible.
