Comparative Pharmaceutical -Analytical study of Sushruta Lauha Ayaskriti and Lauha Bhasma

Ayaskriti is an ayurvedic formulation containing iron. It is a specific metal processing technique developed in ancient times to make iron suitable for internal use. Objective: To prepare and physicochemically evaluate lauha Ayaskriti (shusruta) and lauha bhasma. Materials and methods: lauha Ayaskriti (shusruta) and lauha bhasma was prepared as per ayurvedic text and characterized by Organoleptic characters, physico-chemical parameters. Results: This study clearly revealed bhasma prepared as per Sushruta and Rastangini are passed as per ayurvedic bhasma pariksha. Conclusion: The study of XRF of lauha Ayaskriti and lauha bhasma value of fe is persent in the elemental form along with other form of oxide. Further studies are required to prove the medicinal efficacy of this medicine.

Introduction: Lepa is a bahirparimarjana chikitsa that helps in bringing samyata in sthanika dosha and dhatu. Many lepa are mentioned in Ayurveda pharmaceutics for the treatment of mukhadooshika. Among it, one is a combination of Lodhra, Kustumburu, Vacha, Vatapallava, and Narikelashuktya. Mukhadooshika is a type of kshudraroga, featuring the formation of pidaka on face. The symptoms of mukhadooshika resembles with acne vulgaris. Aim: An attempt is made to analyze the physico-chemical parameters of the mukhadooshikahara lepa churna. Materials and methods: The pharmaceutical preparation is easy and simple with easily available ingredients. The organoleptic characters like appearance, odour, taste and physico-chemical parameters like pH, total ash. Water Soluble ash, Alcohol soluble extractives, Water soluble extractives, loss on drying and HPTLC were carried out. Observations and results: The obtained results were discussed in the present paper. Discussion and conclusion: Mukhadooshikahara lepa churna is a simple preparation and can be prepared by easily available drugs. HPTLC fingerprinting at different wavelengths was carried out. At 254 nm, 366nm and 620nm 11, 8 and 10 peaks were found with different retention factor starting from 0.02 to 0.80, 0.03 to 0.096 and 0.07 to 0.80respectively. The analytical study findings can be taken as a preliminary standard for mukhadooshikahara lepa churna.

Aim: The present study aimed to compare the Sharibadi decoction which was prepared in two different ways. Sharibadi decoction A: All the ingredients are available including a local variety of H. indicus and Indian variety of H. indicus. Sharibadi decoction B: All the ingredients are available except the local variety of H. indicus and double the amount of Indian variety of H. indicus. Methodology: Phytochemical (in terms of secondary metabolites and Thin Layer Fingerprint profiles) and Physico-chemical (in terms of ash values and extractable matter) analyses were carried out to compare the Sharibadi decoction A with the Sharibadi decoction B. Results: Comparison of phytochemicals and Thin Layer Fingerprint profile of Sharibadi decoction A with that of Sharibadi decoction B revealed the differences in phytochemical compound/s presence in both decoctions. However, Physico-chemical parameters of Sharibadi decoction A were almost similar to that of Sharibadi decoction B. Conclusion: Absence of local variety of H. indicus gives an impact on phytochemical constituents rather than Physico-chemical parameters of Sharibadi decoction. However, phytochemicals play a major role when a drug exhibits its therapeutic effect/s. Therefore, to get the best therapeutic effect of Sharibadi decoction, both local variety of H. indicus and Indian variety of H. indicus should be used with other ingredients.

Physico-chemical properties are an essential factor during processing and preservation of food. The retention and changes in physico-chemical properties depends upon the processing technique. In this work, physicochemical parameters of orange like vitamin C (ascorbic acid), pH, total soluble solids (TSS), % acidity, temperature and color were studied with all the optimized conditions of fermentations for the development of orange wine. The fermentation of the fruit juice was completed within 7 days period at temperature 27oC, pH 4.5 and total soluble solids of 24oBrix with an inoculum level of 10% (v/v). Thus, orange wine with ethanol content of 8.5% (v/v) was prepared from the orange variety ‘Nagpur Santra’ (Citrus Reticulata Blanco) in controlled physico-chemical parameters.

Three Samples

Bhasma are the unique and important organometallic preparations used in Ayurveda Therapeutics. Bhasma are complex structures generally prepared by repeated incineration of metals and minerals with medicinal herbs decoction or juices. Abhrak Bhasma is an excellent cellular regenerator and nervine tonic. It is indicated in various chronic diseases such as tuberculosis, COPD and many types of cardiac diseases. Considering the principles of Ras-shastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana and also the importance of their standard method of preparation, it is decided to carry out pharmaceutical and analytical study of ‘Abhrak Bhasma’. Preparation of Abhrak Bhasma involves the procedures Vajrabhrak Shodhan, Dhanyabhrak Nirman and Maran of Abhrak. Prepared samples of Abhrak Bhasma tested on the basis of organoleptic and physico-chemical parameters. Prepared samples of Abhrakabhasma (AB-1, AB-2, AB-3) were Nishchandra, Sindurabha coloured, Sookshma, Rekhapurna, Sparshakomal (Mrudu, Shlakshna), Nirdhum and Niswadu. Along with Ayurvedic parameters modern parameters such as L.O.D., L.O.I., pH, conductivity, successive solubility, elemental assay of Fe2+ and Fe3+ etc. were applied to the samples of Abhraka Bhasma. Analytical study of Abhraka Bhasma revealed the uniformity of the procedures in the three samples of Abhraka Bhasma, as evidenced by the observations of the analytical values of the three samples were not much variation found.
