Sushruta’s more elaborate version of Nila Ghrita with extended herb panel. Substitutes Bhringaraja for the photosensitising Bakuchi/Vakuci in the classical recipe.
How to apply Internal: 3-6 g on empty stomach under strict vaidya supervision. External: thin film over Shvitra patches; STRICT sun avoidance.
Safety flags
- High Bakuchi-substitute load — photosensitising potential. Sun avoidance required.
Vaidya review required
This formulation requires verification by a qualified vaidya before clinical or commercial use — for botanical-identity confirmation, dose calibration, and patient-population safety.
