Herbs
in daily life to maintain and boost up good health of a healthy person –
Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshanam
In the current century Ayurveda holds a solid
vincity of health care procedure. Chiefly Ayurvedic medicines are obtained from
our mother, nature. Due to lack of proper facilities and methodologies till
today it is not so highly profitable business. It is our aim how to establish
and development an Ayurvedic manufacturing unit as well as Ayurvedic industry
at small and large scale. There has been a shift in universal trend from
synthetic to herbal medicine at current scenario. It is an ancient wisdom that
plants have therapeutic value and are used to treat various diseases since
Neanderthal age.
Ayurveda is the one of the oldest system of healing.
What distinguishes it from many of its cognates is that it is a living
tradition, more vibrant and dynamic than it was a thousand years ago. The
secret of its vitality lies in its inherent capability to interact with other
disciplines. According to the old age belief, Ayurveda is anadi and is revealed
to the sages. This notion gives spiritual sanctity to science.

General Method of Preparation
Drugs mentioned in the Yoga (product incorporated
by more than one herb) are cleaned and dried properly. They are finely powdered
and sieved. Where there are a number of drugs in yoga, the drugs are separately
powdered and sieved. Each one of them (powder) is weighed separately, and well
mixed together. As some of the drugs contain more fibrous matter than other,
this method of powdering and weighing them separately them, according to the
Yoga, and then mixing them together, is preferred. In industry, however, all
the drugs are cleaned, dried and powdered together by disintegrators.
Mechanical sifters are also used. Salt, sugar, camphor etc., when mentioned are
separately powdered and mixed with the rest at the end. Drugs like Satavari,
Guruchi etc., which are to be taken fresh, is made into a paste, dried, and
then added.

The powder is fine of at least 80 mesh
sieves. It should not adhere together or become moist. The finer the powder,
the better is its therapeutic value. They retain potency for one year and
should be kept in air tight containers.
