Regarding the use of metals (Dhatu), history observation reveals that India was the first country to start the use of Vanga for various industrial, alchemical and therapeutic purposes. The word Trapu is mentioned regarding Vanga in Veda and Samhita. In Brihatrayi, external and internal use of Vanga is found with ref-erence to ‘Suvarna Samala Pancha Loha’, ‘Bhouma Dravyas’ etc. In Rasa classics, Vanga and its thera-peutic properties have been widely described under Puti Loha the metal which emit obnoxious smell, while they are melting. Rasa scholars mentioned its synonyms like Vanga, Picchata, Shukraloha etc which de-notes its distribution, physical and therapeutic properties. One of the properties of Vanga is Drutdravam i.e. melt at low heat which proves by its low melting point (2320C). On observing various literature, it is seen that in Samhita, only therapeutic use of mentioned. But in Rasashastra, its types, Pharmaceutical pro-cess like Shodhana, Jarana, Marana and use in alchemical and therapeutic purposes are described widely. Much importance has been given to its efficacy and told that ‘as lion destroy the group of elephants, like wise Vanga destroy all types of Meha Roga’. The author of Ayurveda Prakash has indicated that for Prameha Roga (diabetes), Vanga Bhasma is a drug of choice which is also evaluate by various research works on Vanga Bhasma.

Therapeutic Properties

Ayurved advocates that drug should be collected with proper classical methods. In Ayurvedic texts, specific time, season and procedures or methods have been highlighted for getting better potency, efficacy and therapeutic properties of drug by describing the standard methods of drug collection and preservation in details. Now a day, due to lack of proper traditional knowledge and time very few people bother to follow all these methods of collection given by Acharya. Hence, the potency of medicines is of question. Aragvadha (Cassia fistula Linn.) has been popular as a common drug of choice treatment since ancient time. Classic text like Charaka Samhita has quoted the classical and particular method for the collection and preservation of Aragvadha Phalamajja (Cassia fistula Linn.). Acharya Charaka has quoted this collection method of Aragvadha Phalamajja(Cassia fistula Linn.)as follows- The good qualities of collected pods should be kept covered in river bed sand for seven days. After seven days these pods should be removed and kept in sunlight for some time. And thereafter, fruit pulp (phalamajja) should be extracted and stored in a clean vessel. Therefore, study of classically collected Aragvadha Phalamajja (Cassia fistula Linn.) and Market sample of Aragvadha Phalamajja (Cassia fistula Linn.) was carried out.

Abstract The review describes botanical aspects, bioactive phytocompounds and pharmacological properties of different parts of Pithecellobium dulce, with special emphasis on the nutritional status of its fruits. The different parts of plant extract have been reported to possess anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-diabetic, cardio protective, anti-diarrhoeal, anti-ulcerogenic, larvicidal and ovicidal activities. Different parts of plant extracts were reported to contain several bioactive phytocompounds such as flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids etc. Natural products discovered so far served as a viable source for new drugs. Over the past few years, continued and perpetual attention of people has been paid to medicinal plants in connection with its remarkable importance in drug discovery. Plant products always remains a drug of choice for the identification of novel leads despite facing a tough competition from existing synthetic alternatives derived from combinatorial chemistry, owing to their efficacy, side effects, and safety. P. dulce is a highly acclaimed genus in traditional system of medicine because of its versatile nutraceutical and pharmacological properties. In this review we discuss in detail about nutritional and various therapeutic properties of P. dulce.

Therapeutic Properties

In contemporary era medicinal plants have tremendous contribution in the healthcare system as a source of medicine to the rural population because plants are having nutritional as well as medicinal values. Literature of medicinal plants in ayurvedic classics is in scrupulous detail but it is randomly distributed. Even in Nighantu classics we found limited descriptions. To get thorough knowledge about any medicinal herb it is essential to go through all classical Ayurveda texts. Madanphala (Randia dumetorum Lam). is onymous as a usual drug of choice for Ayurvedic physicians since past due to its therapeutic properties like emetic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antihelmenthic, immunomodulatory, analgesic, wound healing etc. It is also useful in the treatment of diseases like kushtha (skin diseases), jwara (fever), shotha (inflammation), vidradhi (abscess), Pratishyaya (common cold). It occurs throughout the India upto 4000 ft. Altitude. It is found in foothills of Himalaya from Jammu to Sikkim, it is seen in Gujarat, Tamilnadu, Bengal and South Maharashtra. Its extract mainly contains glycosides, triterpenoid glycoside, Saponins named as dumentoronin A, B, C, D, E and F etc. Reflecting its therapeutic importance, a review has been done under various aspects of Randia dumetorum lam. Apart from classical ayurvedic textual references; present article enlightens recent research studies carried on this plant for its clinical and pharmacological evaluation.

This meta-review is an examination of the therapeutic properties of colostrum. The scientific development and subsequent implementation of new therapeutics continues to influence researchers all over the globe today. Therefore, this review examines previously published research on colostrum and its effects on physiological functioning to determine its role as a potential therapeutic. Additionally, this review explores options for the potential therapeutic use of colostrum in immunology, IBS, diabetes and thyroid. There is abundant research supporting the immunomodulatory properties of colostrum, while also implicating its roles in alleviating IBS which is presented in this review. There is also evidence for the presence of IGF-1, T4, T3 and iodine in colostrum. Therefore, this review will also examine the current research examining the detection and respective physiological relevance for diabetes and thyroid functioning.

Face Centered

Recent studies have shown the presence of voids in several face-centered cubic metals after neutron irradiation at elevated temperatures. These voids were found when the irradiation temperature was above 0.3 Tm where Tm is the absolute melting point, and were ascribed to the agglomeration of lattice vacancies resulting from fast neutron generated displacement cascades. The present paper reports the existence of similar voids in the body-centered cubic metals tungsten and molybdenum.

Au Thin Films

It has long been known that defects such as stacking faults and voids can be quenched from various alloyed metals heated to near their melting point. Today it is common practice to irradiate samples with various ionic species of rare gases which also form voids containing solidified phases of the same atomic species, e.g. ref. 3. Equivalently, electron irradiation has been used to produce damage events, e.g. ref. 4. Generally all of the above mentioned studies have relied on diffraction contrast to observe the defects produced down to a dimension of perhaps 10 to 20Å. Also all these studies have used ions or electrons which exceeded the damage threshold for knockon events. In the case of higher resolution studies the present author has identified vacancy and interstitial type chain defects in ion irradiated Si and was able to identify both di-interstitial and di-vacancy chains running through the foil.
