=== Introduction ===

Line 29: Line 36:

The ''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha doshas'' denote the physiological state of a person, ''rasadi'' seven ''dhatus'' denote the structure or tissue component and ''pranavahaadi srotas'' denote the enzymatic, bio-chemical functional and circulatory activity related to each ''dhatu'' in the living beings.

The harmonious blending of this body, sense organs, mind and soul is well defined as life in Ayurveda. Health is not just absence of the disease, but it is the state of enjoying the life with physical, mental and spiritual happiness. Achievement of real health involves the maintenance, promotion of the health in a healthy individual and management, cure of the illness in a diseased person. The ''bheshaja'' or ''chikitsa'' (treatment) includes the measures for achieving the optimum health both in healthy and diseased one.

The harmonious blending of this body, sense organs, mind and soul is well defined as life in [[Ayurveda]]. Health is not just absence of the disease, but it is the state of enjoying the life with physical, mental and spiritual happiness. Achievement of real health involves the maintenance, promotion of the health in a healthy individual and management, cure of the illness in a diseased person. The ''bheshaja'' or ''chikitsa'' (treatment) includes the measures for achieving the optimum health both in healthy and diseased one.

The major elimination of vitiated ''doshas'' are done by purification procedures i.e. ''shodhana'' (cleansing or elimination therapy). In [[Kalpa Sthana]], 355 formulations for therapeutic emesis and 245 formulations for therapeutic purgatives, a total number of 600 formulations are formulated by using 15 important herbs for the different likings of the persons, doshika involvement and the specific disorders.

=== ''Tattva Vimarsha'' / Fundamental Principles===

*''Danti''(Baliospermum montanum (Willd.) and ''dravanti'' (Croton tiglium L.) are strong purgative drugs with ''tikshna'' (sharply acting), ''ashukari'' (quickly acting), ''vikasi'' ( immediately getting distributed in body) properties. Roots of these plants are used for therapeutic purpose after purification. These drugs are mainly indicated in ''gulma''(abdominal lumps), ''udara'' (abdominal diseases including ascitis), and ''udavarta''. These drugs can liquefy ''kapha-pitta dosha'' and expel them out.

Line 1,794: Line 1,992:

*In a formulation, the action of main ingredient should not be hampered by the addition of other ingredients having opposite qualities. Addition of ingredients with similar properties will enrich the action of the formulations.

*In order to impart pleasant color, good taste, agreeable smell and touch and relation to the specific disorders, ''viruddha virya'' (opposite quality drugs or antagonistic) drugs along with main drug are added.

−

*The quality and action of drugs can be enhanced by the proper triturating with either ''swarasa'' (juice) or ''kwatha'' (decoction) of the same drug or of the other drugs with similar qualities and action. This method also potentiates the multidimensional action of the preparation. Thus two important measures to potentiate the activity of medicaments are 1. repeated & proper ''bhavana'' (processing) of the same drug 2. addition of similar quality drugs.

Thus two important measures to potentiate the activity of medicaments are 1. repeated & proper ''bhavana'' (processing) of the same drug 2. addition of similar quality drugs. The drug with enhanced qualities will be more effective in less dose.

*By the combination and separation of drugs, ''kala'' (time), ''sanskara'' (processings), & ''yukti'' (proper planning) one can modify the potency of medicaments. There by minute dose can produce greater benefits and vice versa.

*There are three categories of drugs based upon their therapeutic potential of elimination viz. ''tikshna'' (sharp acting), ''madhyama'' (medium potential), ''mridu'' (mild acting).

Line 1,810: Line 2,008:

*The consistency of ''sneha'' (unctuous drug) shall be changed according to its route of administration. ''Kharapaka sneha'' (dense) is used for the ''abhyanaga'' (unction). ''Mridupaka sneha'' (soft/thin) is ideal for administration through the nasal route (''nasya''). ''Madhyama paka sneha'' (medium) is preferred both oral administration (''pana'') as well as for enema (''basti'').

Polynyms are used for the identification of the plants, to know their qualities and the therapeutic actions. C''hitropachitra, sambari, pratyakshreni, chanda'' are not available in some of the original texts. These different names of both the plants are mentioned in Bhavaprakash Nighantu (Pg.no 399, Guduchyadi varga) in the names of ''laghudanti'' and ''dravanti'' as ''dantidvaya''. The Baliospermum montanum Muell-Arg. and Croton tigilium L. of Euphorbiaceae family are considered as the botanical source respectively.
