SAMSKARA GUNANTARADHANAM WSR TO SHATADHAUTA GHRITA
Ayurveda, the ancient system of medicine, has been considered very important for ages and has grown over the years. It has been thoroughly looking after the world's healthcare since time immemorial. Samskara, in Ayurveda, is a process of transformation of inherent properties of a substance. Ghrita is one of the Chaturvidha Sneha explained in Ayurveda and widely used as Ahara and Aushadha. Ghrita can perform multiple actions if appropriately processed. Based on this, many Samskaras are performed for Ghrita, and various pharmacological actions are subsequently noted. Shata Dhauta Ghrita and Sahasra Dhauta Ghrita are also the outcome of those keen observations; It is prepared by washing cow’s ghee with cold water about a hundred times and a thousand times, respectively. It is considered the best Dahashamaka, Vranaropaka, and a light cream that profoundly penetrates all seven layers of skin to heal it from within and moisturise it.
