39. 39. RATIONALEBy the process ofSwedana- the impurities get dissolved in liquidmedia.Bhavana it augments the properties ofmedicines.surface area of each minute particle willhave contact with dravya.Mardana- sieze the heat resistance impuritiesPatana impurities like naga,vanga have high boilingpoint do not sublimate and remain at the bottom.parada becomes devoid of kanchuka dosas
40. 40. Amla varga amlika,nimbuka,kasisa,kanjidissolve the acid soluble impurities .Acidic drugs are rapidly absorbed from stomach as they remainin acidic medium of stomach in unionised form which favourstheir absorption, drug act rapidly on oral administrationKsaara varga sarja,yava,tankanaits teeksna guna induce shodhana and attributes to agnibhuta.Helps in dissosciation of molecules .Lavanas saindhava,navasagarainduce deepana,pachana,sroto shodhaka
41. 41. Kanji- particle size, liquid media acts as bindingagent. All bhavana dravyas primarily contain carbon in oneor other form & carbon is considered as best reducingagent. Organic components of liquid media are transformedto material & make it organo-metallic/ organo-meneralcompounds, which are favourable to body. Tamra & dhanyabhraka forms complex structureswith doshas present in parada and settles down thushelps in evaporating pure parada upwards. Aranalaacts as acidic media
