In allopathic medicine, additives and synergistic can somewhat increase a drug's potency, but doing so also raises its cost and sensitivity. In the ancient medicine system, potentiation technology is described elaborately but during the course of time, it has been lost. We invented a 2-6µm water-based mid-IR generating atomizer named MIRGA. Depending on the applied plunger pressure, MIRGA’s every spraying is designed to generate 2-6 µm mid-IR. In the Ayurvedic medical system, ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a widely used herb in folk medicine for treating a variety of ailments. Using MIRGA, an immediate external spraying distance of 0.25–0.50 meter was applied to the packaged (polyethene, paper) ashwagandha powder. This resulted in ashwagandha potentiation for a minimal 27%. The MIRGA is cost-effective, guaranteeing resource savings in addition to rising health benefits. The numerous advantages offered by this technology have been substantiated through a series of experiments and various instruments, which will be elaborated upon in this discourse.
