ABSTRACT
Introduction: Navya Chandrabhid Rasa is a classical herbomineral Ayurvedic formulation primarily used to treat Jwara (fever), especially Nava Jwara. It combines herbal and mineral ingredients processed through traditional pharmaceutical methods to enhance safety and efficacy.
Methods: The study involved the preparation of Navya Chandrabhid Rasa following Rasa Paddhati. Shodhana (purification) was performed on Parada, Gandhaka, Vatsnabha, and Chitraka. Kajjali was prepared and triturated with powdered herbal ingredients. Bhavana (triturating) was done using Bhringraj and Chitrakamoola Swarasa. The final product was formed into Vati (tablet) form.
Results: The process yielded 95.6% Shuddha Parada, 90% Shuddha Gandhak, and 57.5% Shuddha Vatsnabh, while the Vati after drying weighed 260 grams, indicating a weight gain of 10 grams (approximately 4%) attributed to the extract of the Bhavana Dravya.
Discussion: The study validates classical Ayurvedic pharmaceutical procedures, reducing toxicity and enhancing therapeutic efficacy of herbomineral formulations. It establishes a reproducible method for producing Navya Chandrabhid Rasa with potential clinical applications in managing fever.
