iKwath - a pod-based smart Kwatha (Kadha) maker that prepares a fresh, AFI/API-standardized decoction from coarse powder (yavaku?a c?r?a) on demand, in the shortest practical time without altering the decoctions quality or yield

Source

Source summary

iKwath proposes a pod-based appliance for fresh Ayurvedic decoctions, with formulation-specific AFI/API water proportions and reduction endpoints. The source specifies about 400 mL input for a 100 mL dose, a roughly one-litre chamber and controlled processing around 85–90°C. Faster preparation must preserve constituent profile and extract yield through validation. Weight/density monitoring, removable food-grade parts, rinse cleaning and boil-over/dry-run protection are included. Claimed formulation equivalence is an evaluation objective, not established efficacy or safety.
