Review on Avaleha Kalpana

Abstract

Avaleha Kalpana was first described by Acharya Charak & it was widely used as rejuvenator by Acharya Charak, Vagbhat and Sushrut. It is most popular due to its dosage form, which helps in easy administration; palatability and long shelf life. As this formulation is licked so it is termed as Leha. The oral trans-mucosal route has significant potential for drug delivery both systemically and locally. Avaleha can be called as a food or part of the food that provides medical or health benefits including prevention and treatment of disease.
