UNVEILING PISHTI KALPANA: AN IN-DEPTH EXPLORATION IN AYURVEDIC PHARMACOLOGY

The production of various medications and formulations, such as Bhasmas, Kharaliya Rasayanas, Kupipakwa Rasayanas, etc., is the focus of Rasa Shastra. The various kinds of raw materials that will be utilized as the main ingredients in these formulation sections likewise vary. Since ancient times, Rasa Shastra has prepared these medications in a wide range of ways, allowing for safer usage. Pishti is one such category of formulations that is mostly utilized in situations when the raw materials are extremely effective without heat treatment but cannot withstand heat. In Rasa Shastra, specific Pishtis are prepared by levigation or trituration of medications derived primarily from animals or valuable stones in a designated medium.Pishti literally translates as something that has been coarsely triturated and ground into a powder that is akin to flour. Mukta Pishti and Prawal Pishti are two notable instances.
