Processing time of Ayurveda medicines is a big challenge. Many of Kharaliya Rasayana take days for the process. How to shorten the processing time is big challenge for the industry. An attempt was made to prepare Kharaliya Rasayana Named Gandhakadi Yoga by a new method without violating the basic principles. In one batch Gandhakadi yoga was prepared by following classical method of Kharaliya Rasayana e.g. by adding Bhavana Drava into Gandhaka one by one until it gets dry, total 3 batches were prepared by this method. It took approximately 67 to 125 days depending upon the season. Another batch was prepared with modification. Rasakriya of all Bhavana Drava was prepared, additional watery portion was evaporated. Total Solid contents of all the Bhavana Drava (in the form of Rasakriya) were triturated with Gandhaka. The entire process of this method was completed in 10 days. Samples were analyzed physico chemically. Study revealed that there was no major change in the selected parameters whether it is prepared in 10 days or 70 days. This modified method might be useful for bulk production, as it takes less time in the trituration process when Ghana (Rasakriya) of all Bhavana Drava is added at the same time.
