Three samples of calcium oxide, designated as A, B, and C, were prepared from calcium carbonate labelled with calcium-45. A was heated to constant weight at 700 °C.; B was heated an additional three hours at 1400 to 1550 °C.; and C was heated six hours at the same temperature. The samples were hydrated in a supersaturated lime solution at 21 °C., the development of activity and the changes in concentration of the solution being determined. The activity entering the solution accounted, according to theory, for the following percentages of the samples passing through the solution during the hydration: A, 27%; B, 57%; C, 94%. These results indicate that sample C ("dead-burnt" lime) hydrated by a "through-solution" mechanism, but that A and B either hydrated partly according to some other mechanism, such as a vapor phase process in the pores of the particles of lime, or the calcium ions failed to reach the bulk of the hydrating liquid before precipitation as calcium hydroxide.

Honey is a natural product which was known to ancient seers of Ayurveda since Veda period. The nutritional and therapeutic benefits of honey were well known and also documented in authentic texts of Ayurveda. However the abundant availability of honey has gone decreasing since industrialization and deforestation. It has resulted in artificial culture and marketing of honey. The quality of such honey is matter of concern as it is easy to adulterate honey but is very hard to find out the difference between natural and adulterated honey. Considering this issue, present work has been planned to compare freshly collected natural honey and marketed samples of honey. For the comparative analytical study four different samples were collected. Three samples of three different pharmacies were procured from market (honey of branded Ayurvedic companies) and compared with collected honey sample from honeycomb of Apis mellifera. The collected four samples of honey have almost similar organoleptic characters i.e. colour, odour, taste and touch. Considerable differences are detected in physico-chemical analysis, nutritional value and HMF value. The observations are within normal range however the differences are suggestive of need of establishing quality control parameters based on source of honey, collection season, temperature and storage condition and also providing these details while labelling the samples. Finding of present study revealed that freshly collected natural honey have best desired attributes compared all three marketed samples.

SummaryUsing multiple diagnostic and epidemiological criteria, three samples of general practice (GP) depressives were studied: those prescribed a new course of antidepressants, those given other treatment, and those missed by the GP. The majority of patients qualified as psychiatric cases on the PSE Index of Definition, the Bedford College Criteria, and the Research Diagnostic Criteria. Most satisfied diagnostic criteria for depression, or (fewer) anxiety. The disorders were relatively mild and often borderline on all three systems. Depressives given other treatment most often failed to meet diagnostic criteria. About half the antidepressant treated patients received RDC diagnoses of major depression. Among the other treatment sample, only one-fifth met these criteria, and half had non-depressive diagnoses. Most cases of depression treated by GPs satisfy criteria for psychiatric disorder, but tend to be relatively mild and borderline in quality.

Kalpana is the process through which a substance can be transformed into the form of medicine according to the need. Samskaras are to be done for potentiating the drug or the formulation. Among all these pharmaceutical processes Shodhana is one of them. For a single drug many process of Shodhana have been mentioned. Arsenic compounds are being popularly used in Ayurveda therapeutics since centuries, Haratala being important among them. It is commonly used in treating the diseases like Sleshmaroga, Raktapitta, Vatarakta, Kustha etc. Haratala is called orpiment of yellow arsenic with two molecules of Arsenic and three molecules of Sulphur (AS2S3). Patra Haratala is Srestha and used for the present study. Haratala consumed without proper Shodhana shortens the life span, causes diseases of Kapha and Vata, Prameha, Santapa, Spotha, Snayu Sankocha. Hence Shodhana of Haratala is essential. There are different Medias explained in literature for Shodhana of Haratala. According to the media of purification the quality and pharmacological properties of Haratala will vary. Depending on the change in properties the therapeutic effect may also vary. The present study includes Shodhana of Patra Haratala as per Classical reference of Rasa Ratna Samucchaya where Shodana of Patra Haratala is done by Kushmanda Swarasa, Tila Kshara Jala and Churnodaka. Standard Operative Procedure of the process is done in the pharmaceutical study. The analytical study reveals the standards which can be given for Ashuddha Haratala and Shuddha Haratala of various Samples. The differences in the parameters reveal that there are some changes which give us the idea regarding role of a particular media in purification of a substance, where it adds some properties of the media used.

Aushadha Kalpana is prepared by different pharmaceutical processing applied to the crude drugs to get the desired therapeutic effects. Guggulu kalpana is one of them. Guggulu is the gummy resin of the Indian plant bdellium i.e. Commiphora mukul. Guggulu is always used after Shodhana to remove its impurities. So the process of Shodhana becomes imperative in different media. In addition to it, Shodhana of Guggulu in different media brings specific properties to Guggulu. Ayurvedic medicines are gaining increase in popularity worldwide for the treatment of various diseases in recent times. In the present study, Amritadya guggulu, one of the Guggulu preparation mentioned in Pidika, Bhagandara and Sthaulya like conditions in Chakkradatta, was prepared and analysed so as to prove the safety and efficacy of the drug. Aims and objectives: To develop standard operative procedure for preparation of genuine drug and to analyze the safety and purity of the drug. Material and Methods: Amritadya guggulu was prepared as per classical texts and analysed by using different parameters like organoleptic properties, physicochemical properties, TLC etc. Discussion and Conclusion: 50% weight loss was observed. The weight loss was due to removal of impurities present in the Guggulu and handling loss. Presence of low acid insoluble ash (1.08%) determines the presence of low adherent dirt as well as sand particles. Presence of low moisture content (loss on drying 6.2%) decreases decomposition and enhances the shelf life and therapeutic value of the drug. Hence it can be concluded that the pharmaceutical and analytical study confirm the authenticity and quality of the drug.

Kanji (sour rice gruel) is an acidic fermented preparation mentioned in many of the Ayurveda classics for various purpose like therapeutic use, pharmaceutical processes etc. A special method of kanji preparation is mentioned in Rasaratnasamuchchaya commentary by Acharya Dattatreya Anant Kulkarni and similar preparation is also mentioned in Rasayansara book recommended for the Parada samskara (mercurial processes) with some difference in ingredients. Kshara (alkaline preparation/ alkali) is an important preparation mentioned in classics. In Rasayansara text, Acharya Shyamsundar Vaishyaji has described a unique method of Kshara nirmana out of the leftover material of the Kanji. This kind of innovative methods should be adopted to recycle the leftover waste matters. It will help in regenerate the new pharmaceutical product. Here an attempt has been done by preparing the kanji and the kshara out of its residue material as mentioned in Rasayansara. First Kanji was prepared as per the reference of Rasayansara book and the leftover after filtration was dried. The kshara was prepared out of this dried leftover. Organoleptic and physicochemical analysis of the prepared kshara was done. The average yield of obtained kshara was 4.88%. The moisture content of the final product found very less while total ash value found on higher side. The pH value suggests its alkaline nature. It shows good solubility in various solvents and good water-soluble extractive value. Exploration of such innovative procedures where waste stuff is been recycled should be increased in present time.
