| Comments | Two varieties of Haritala have been mentioned in the classics as 1.Patra haritala (flaky form), 2.Pinda haritala (lumpy form). Patratala variety is said to be tridosaghna (pacifies all the dosas) and rasayana (rejuvenative). Pindatala is said to be of inferior quality when compared to patratala. Talaka being a poisonous drug has to be used only after meticulous purification. There are many methods of purification. One of them is as follows: Haritala is powdered and tied in a potali (bolus). It is given svedana in dolayantra containing tilaksarajala for three hours. Then it is dried. | ||||
