PHARMACEUTICAL STUDY OF TALAKANKO RASA – A HERBOMINERAL FORMULATION

Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana deals with the preparation and therapeutic application of medicines made from herbs, minerals, and metals. One of the major benefits of Rasaushadhis is their effectiveness in very small doses compared to purely herbal medicines, making them easier to administer and often minimizing potential side effects.[1] Talakanko Rasa, as mentioned in Bharat Bhaishajya Ratnakara, is specifically indicated for the treatment of Jwara.[2] It contains Shuddha Haratala, Shuddha Tuttha, Shuddha Mukta Shukti and Churnaka as ingredients. In the present study all the shodhita ingredients were taken in 2:1:1:4 proportion respectively and Bhavana of Kumari swarasa was given to make pellets and one Gajaputa was given. Pharmaceutical procedures were carried out step by step as per classical reference and SOP. The process-related losses and overall yield are recorded.
