Abstract:-

Ayurveda gives so importance to Pathya Kalpana as it would be the supreme medicine. Life cannot be sustained without Pathya (wholesome) even with medicines consumed¹. The Khada(Khala) preparation is a good choice in digestive disorders of all kinds and is a cross between food and medicine, an example of diet therapy. Khada is known as ‘Mukkudi’ among Keralite physicians. It is a type of salutary Buttermilk preparation. Generally, drugs are pounded and cooked in Buttermilk. It was mainly administered to people with low digestive fire and conditions like Hemorrhoids, Dysentery, Anorexia, etc. Thambli, a similar preparation is a diet staple that can be used as medicine.  As Mukkudi being widely used by ancient Vaidyas but not new generations, its literary knowledge not available from modern Textbooks. Moreover, Articles were not available concerned with this topic. So a review search was done to know about its method of preparation, types, properties, and various Khada formulations. Also, go through the Rituals associated with medicated Buttermilk custom in the month of Karkidaka. Also, one of the tabulated formulation was selected and prepared the same to ensure the palatability in addition to assess the casualness in preparation. While analyzing the enlisted tables, it can be concluded that the Khada preparation can be given to almost all diseases that occurred in external, internal and intermediate disease channels of the body. This simple preparation can be consumed by any person of any age on any season except hot².
