Ayurveda

Ayurveda- the sciences of life, is the world’s oldest system of health care. It has strong philosophical foundations, unquestionable scientific veracity, everlasting practical methodology and eternally vibrant innovativeness. 

In Ayurveda, Bhaishajyakalpana deals with identification, selection, preservation standardisation, compounding and dispensing of medicinal substances. Most of the Kalpanas must have been primarily used for the preparation of food, which was late modified into pharmaceutical processes.  Bhaishajya kalpana is derived from the words Bhaishajya and kalpana. The term Bhaishajya means drug, or that with which we can treat a disease. The word Kalpana can be considered as a process by which one material is converted to another form for a desired effect. The evolution of Kalpanas was a natural process related to mankind. The very first man must have chewed the food material and converted it into a paste for swallowing & sucked the juice of several fruits and thrown off the waste. In general, Kalpanas were developed by the civilized men according to their necessity. Most of the Kalpanas were primarily used for the preparation of food. When these Kalpanas were adopted for pharmaceutical use, it was termed Bhaishajya kalpana. 

Drugs are usually administered in formulated preparations, not in its pure form. It varies from simple solutions, tablets etc. to the complex drug delivery system. In Ayurveda Swarasa, Kalka, Churna, Kwatha Avaleha, Arishta, Ghritha, Thyla etc. are the major dosage forms. Bhaishajya kalpana deals with manufacturing of various dosage forms in Ayurveda. All these processes were developed for administering the drug in a better administerable and assimilable form and for its preservation. The primary kalpanas (Dosage Forms) considered generally in Ayurveda are Rasa (Juice), Kalka (Paste), Sritha, Seeta and Phanta (Different types of Decoctions). These are considered primary kalpanas because all the other kalpanas are modifications of these primary kalpanas or are made up of the combination of one or many of these primary Kalpanas.
