principles are absorbed. In certain cases the choornams are boiled with
water, or mixed with ghee/ honey or milk before taking.
Since heat based processing is avoided in choornams the microorganisms
if present will remain as such. Hence the raw drug should be made <strong>free</strong> from
all types of microorganism or deleterious materials/components. Deleterious
plant parts should not be present in the products, if the final product is
meant for internal use. The choornams are very effective remedies for
many health problems due to the fact that the active principles are
absorbed in the body without any pyrrolitic/ hydrolytic changes. Some of
the choornams are directly applied on the skin also. Here the active
principles are slowly absorbed through the skin.
