Ayuvedic medications prepared by Sandhana Kalpana (Biomedical fermentation) are commonly used especially in north India for the treatment of various diseases. Sandhana Kalpana is divided into two types i.e. Madya Kalpana and Shukta Kalpana. Madya Kalpana are said to be alcoholic preparation whereas Shukta Kalpana referred as acidic preparation. Among these two Madya Kalpana is commonly used for curing diseases.
