messages.text: {"source": "Samhita : Charaka Samhita Part 2, Chapter :1, Sthanam :Chikitsasthanam, Shloka Number: 12", "explanation": "This shloka details the specific herbs and preparation method for a rejuvenating juice blend.  It emphasizes the use of fresh juice whenever possible but provides an alternative method when fresh herbs are unavailable.\n\n**Herbs Used:**\n\nThe shloka lists several primary herbs:\n\n*   Balā\n*   Atibalā\n*   Candana (Sandalwood)\n*   Aguru (Agarwood)\n*   Dhava\n*   Tiniśa\n*   Khadira (Catechu)\n*   Śimśapā\n\nIn addition to these, it mentions ten other \"age-sustaining\" drugs, culminating in Punarnava.  These likely refer to a group of ten herbs known for their rejuvenating properties.  While the specific ten herbs aren't named here, they are understood within the context of Ayurvedic formulations for longevity.\n\n**Preparation Method:**\n\n1.  **Fresh Juice (Swarasa):** The ideal method is to extract fresh juice from the listed herbs.  The method of use is the same as for Nagabala, implying a similar dosage, timing, and possibly combination with other ingredients as prescribed for Nagabala.\n\n2.  **Substitute Method (Swarasa Substitute):** When fresh herbs are unavailable, a substitute method is described:\n\n    *   **Powder the Herbs:** Dry the herbs and grind them into a fine powder.\n    *   **Soaking:** Take 2.56 kg (one Adhaka) of the combined powdered herbs and soak them in an equal amount (one Adhaka) of water for 24 hours.\n    *   **Pressing and Filtering:** After soaking, press the mixture to extract the liquid and then filter it to remove any remaining particulate matter.  This liquid serves as a substitute for fresh juice.\n\n**Key Points:**\n\n*   The emphasis on fresh juice (Swarasa) suggests that it is considered the most potent form of administration.\n*   The substitute method provides a practical alternative when fresh herbs are not accessible.\n*   The specific quantity (one Adhaka) indicates a standardized preparation for consistent results.\n*   The reference to Nagabala suggests that these herbs share similar properties and may be used for similar therapeutic purposes."}
