====== ''Vipaka'' ======
An attempt has been made to assess vipaka of certain drugs by their effect on malas (feces and urine) and doshas (vata, pitta, and kapha). Drugs, namely bala and shatavari (madhura vipaka), vrikshamla and amalaki (Amla vipaka and madhura vipaka), maricha and pippali (katu vipaka and madhura vipaka), kushtha and nimba (katu vipaka), and lodhra and Ashoka (katu vipaka) were taken up for the study. The study was done for six days. For the first two days, kapardika bhasma (250 mg., thrice a day) as placebo was administered and from the third day onwards the trial drug, in decoction form, (96 ml, twice a day) was given to healthy volunteers for two days. The remaining two days were used for following up. The influence of these drugs on doshas and malas were assessed using a structured proforma. Madhura and Amla vipaka drugs increased the quantity of urine and stool. Madhura vipaka drugs increased kapha dosha while Amla vipaka drugs increased pitta dosha. Katu vipaka drugs decreased the urine and stool output and increased vata dosha5.
