Ayurveda,uses natural resources to accomplish its two primary objectives, Swasthya Rakshanam and Vyadhi Prashamanam. Ayurveda has assigned the utmost importance to comprehending drugs completely.The two branches of this science that make medications are called Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana. Kalpana means forms, while Bhaishajya denotes medicine. Therefore, the term "Bhaishajya Kalpana" refers to the Ayurvedic medicine branch that deals with making medicines using herbal remedies.In Bhaishajya Kalpana, Kalka, Swarasa, Kwatha, and Hima are the representatives of Panchavidha Kashaya Kalpana. Bhaishajya Kalpana also involves preparing many medications, including Churna, Vati, Tail Paka, Asava, etc.A collection of medicinal Taila and Ghruta items is called Sneha Kalpana. The amount and quality of lipid-soluble extracts containing therapeutic compounds differ according on the processes, types, and ratios of the materials used (Sneha Dravya). This is the reason why old Ayurvedic scriptures describe a variety of Sneha Paka techniques. Traditionally, these combinations have a longer shelf life than other herbal Ayurvedic medicine forms. Only Kalpana is utilized in the four ways that these formulations Pana, Abhyanga, Nasaya, and Basti are administered. This article's primary goal is to provide a quick overview of each of these approaches.
