ABSTRACT

Introduction: Ayurveda pharmaceutics deals with designing of formulations. Formulations for various diseases are mentioned in treatises of Ayurveda. Many dosage forms can be modified keeping in mind the palatability, shelf life and other factors. Oral health hygiene has its own importance in health and is a common problem. Panchapallava kvatha is a formulation mentioned in Chakradutta for gargling in condition of mukhadourgandhya. Materials and methods: The ingredients of panchapallava are patola, nimba, jambu, amra and jati. The need to modify the kvatha into arka is owed to the increased shelf life of arka in comparison to kvatha and also arka is more palatable than kvatha. Panchapallava arka was prepared with the same ingredients to have better shelf life and patient compliant. The Physico- chemical analysis of Panchapallava kvatha and arka namely pH, viscosity, refractive index, specific gravity were carried out that can be taken as preliminary standards. Keywords: Panchapallava kvatha, Panchapallava arka, arka, oral health
