Abstract :

Introduction: In this modernized era vati kalpana of ayurvedic pharmaceutics plays an important role, owing to many advantages like accuracy of dosage, palatability, stability, convenient form for dispensing and transportation. Guggulu has its own therapeutic properties And it is also used as binding agent during the preparation of Vatis (pills). Simhanad guggulu and Vatari guggulu are two such Vatika formulations having similar ingredients and they are indicated in Amavata Aim and objectives: To prepare Vatari guggulu and Simhanada guggulu in the department of R.S. &B.K., IPGT & RA and to evaluate practical difficulties while prep� this formulation with classical ratio and modified ratio. Material & Methods: Procurement of standard drugs to make Vatari Guggulu and Simhanad Guggulu. Preparation of this both formulations according classical ratio and method as they contain same ingredients .Tried to make Simhanada guggulu in a classical manner in all possible ways like changing in sequence of adding ingredients, with different temperature pattern but without changing the ratio. Observation and Discussion: There was no practical difficulty faced during preparation of vatari guggulu but while prep� simhanad guggulu with different methods none of this method gives the Vataka form of simhanada Guggulu which is the prime need of this era. But with modification in the ratio of ingredients of Simhanad guggulu and Vatari guggulu are two such Vatika formulations having similar ingredients and they are indicated in Amavata we can make vataka .Conclusion: As per demand of era vati kalpana is the most suitable form in the Ayurvedic clinical practice. As described in our classics we can make Vataka of Vatari guggulu but not in Simhanada guggulu. To make Vataka form of Simhanad guggulu we need modified in the classical ratio of ingredients without adding or removing any ingredient from it.
