Combination of plant and mineral products were derived in the process of exploring safe and effective remedies which can cure severe and deadly diseases. Some plants are used for processing, purification and calcination of minerals, metals and gems. Mainly the purpose of plants in Rasa shastra is to obtain absorbable metallic molecules in the maximum possible minute form. But some plants mentioned in textbook of Rasa-shastra are not identified properly, because Rasa siddhas like Nagarjuna and Rasa Vagbhata have used some rare synonyms of plants, to conceal them from the knowledge of unknown and mischievous personalities, to avoid misuse. But at present, it is necessary to identify them properly, to use the plants for exact calcination and purification for the benefit of mankind. In the present study, nearly ten plants out of 47 unidentified plants are selected from Rasendra Mangala written by Acharya Nagarjuna in the period of 7th and 8th Century A.D. and a trial has been made to work out on such unidentified plants depending upon their synonyms, utility and combination with other drugs. To quote some, Kanchuki, Chandali, Choraka, Chandravalli and Sarpakshi.
Nishaamlaki is a known Ayurvedic medicinal preparation which is found effective in controlling the Diabetes mellitus. But according to Astanga hridaya “Meheshudhaatrinishe” combination of Aamlaki and two Haridra drugs effectively controls Prameha.Here the word “NISHE” indicates two drugs i.e., Haridra and Daruharidra.The combination of Aamlaki (Emblica officinalis Linn.) Haridra (Curcuma longa Linn.) and Daruharidra (Berberis aristata D.C & Coscinium fenestratum Colebr.) is to be considered as “Srestha” (Drug of choice) in Diabetes mellitus. India leads the world’s largest number of diabetic subjects earning the dubious distinction of being termed the diabetes capital of the world. According to diabetes atlas 2008 published by Indian diabetic federation, the number of people with diabetes in India are currently around 40.9 million and is expected to rise to 69.9 million by 2025 unless urgent preventive measures are taken. In India, it is also 3rd leading cause of death (After heart disease and cancer).It has turned out to be the biggest “silent killer” in today’s world. The present research work is done on 60 patients dividing them into 2 groups.DH1 Group was given with Aamalaki, Haridra and Daruharidra {Berberis aristata D.C}, DH2 Group was given with Aamalaki, Haridra and Daruharidra {Coscinium fenestratum Colebr.}. Finally it is concluded that Daruharidra which is known botanically as Berberis aristata D.C is highly effective in controlling the blood sugar levels in combination with Aamalaki and Haridra than Coscinium fenestratum Colebr. in combinations with Aamalaki and Haridra.
Tamalaki/Bhumyamalaki is a herbaceous plant which is very well known for its medicinal value in Ayurveda especially in liver disorders and other common ailments. Various species names have been attributed to Bhumyamalaki by different authors due to varied geographical locations where these plants grow and varied actions exhibited by them. This leads to confusion in selection of the species and accurate identification is essential as their use in practice is becoming more popular. Hence, it is imperative to assess the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relatedness among the Phyllanthus species. The aim of present work is to evaluate the morphological, organoleptic characters and anatomical sections of three Phyllanthus species taken for study and to establish Macroscopic and Microscopic analysis of drug for future conservative strategies.
Hyperlipidaemia is a general term for elevated concentrations of any or all of the lipids in the plasma, including hyperlipoproteinemia, hypercholestrimia etc. Hyperlipidaemia is concerned as the cause for coronary heart diseases and atherosclerosis which results from slow but sure deposition of lipids in the arteries is a chief cause of mortality worldwide. Aim of this study is to evaluate antihyperlipidaemic activity of Chirabilva Ghanavati prepared from bark and heart wood of Chirabilva (Holoptelia integrifolia (Roxb.) Planch.). The patients suffering from Hyperlipidaemia and its related disorders like non-insulin dependent diabetes etc. were selected randomly and divided into two groups, each group contains 15 patients. The patients of group A were advised to take Chirabilva Ghanavati prepared from stem bark. The patients of group B were advised to take Chirabilva Ghanavati prepared from heart wood. The overall result showed that Chirabilva Ghanavati prepared from the stem bark was more effective than Chirabilva Ghanavati prepared from the heart wood in Hyperlipidaemia.Â
