Abstract

Fundamental basic principles are crucial concepts to comprehend in any given field. Each scientific discipline possesses its own set of basic principles. Bhaishajya Kalpana, a branch within Ayurveda known as Ayurvedic pharmaceutics, also adheres to specific basic principles regarding pharmaceutical science (Aushadha Nirmana). The formulations derived from this branch have been utilized in various therapeutics (Aushadha Prayoga) for centuries. However, the basic principles associated with Bhaishaya Kalpana have not been clearly outlined and are dispersed. Therefore, an effort has been undertaken to systematically review and elucidate the fundamental basic principles of Bhaishajya Kalpana, emphasizing their significance. Consequently, the basic principles of Bhaishajya Kalpana are classified into the Principle of Formulation and the Principle of Therapeutic Application. A comprehensive understanding of these fundamentals serves as the key factor for successful research and development in Ayurvedic pharmaceutics.
