Avalehya is a secondary formulation in Ayurvedic pharmaceutics, characterized by its semi-solid consistency. It consists of sweetening agents, fine powder of prakshepaka dravyas, and ghrita or madhu. The preparation involves a series of steps, including the mixing of powdered medicinal substances and sweetening agents into a homogenous mixture, followed by the addition of ghrita or madhu. This process is time-consuming and intricate, particularly in large-scale production. So, an effort is made to find an economical and time-saving procedure in the preparation of Avalehyas. In the present research study, Ikshuradi lehyam is taken from Sahasra Yoga, where two batches of Ikshuradi lehyam were prepared in A.L.N. Rao Memorial Ayurvedic Medical College and Pharmacy, Koppa. Both products were analyzed physicochemically in the Quality Control lab attached to ALARMAMC, Koppa. Based on analytical reports, the innovative method adopted here in preparation saves time (3 hours to complete lehya) and is economical. Loss on drying at 105oC of Ikshuradi lehyam 1 (10.39%) and Ikshuradi lehyam 2 (4.73%), reports in favour of increasing the shelf life of Ikshuradi lehyam 2.
