PHARMACEUTICAL STANDARDIZATION OF BALADI MANDURAM
No full textObjective: Baladi Manduram (BM) is one of the most impairment and potent herbo-mineral formulation described in Ayurvedic classics viz., Rasa Kamadhenu and Rasayoga sagara specified for the management of the disease Amlapitta. BM contains Mandura Bhasma, Balamula, Satavarimula, Erandamula, Yava, Pippali, Jiraka, Twak, Ela, Patra, Nagakesara and Guda. Till now no research work has been carried out to standardize the preparation of BM. The main objective of the present study is to standardize the method of preparation of BM according to the conventional method mentioned in classical literatures. Methods: Shodhana, Bhavana, Marana, Churna nirmana and Paka are the main pharmaceutical procedures involved in the preparation of BM. Mandura was subjected to Shodhana by Nirvapa in Gomutra Triphala Kashaya for 7 times. Shodhita Mandura thus obtained was triturated with Kumari Swarasa and subjected to Gaja puta for 7 times. Mandura Bhasma thus otained was added to the guda paka along with the fine powders of herbal ingredients. Then the homogenous mixture of BM was made in the form of capsules of 500mg. Results: 1380 g of BM was prepared from 1264g of Mandura Bhasma, 100g each of Balamula, Satavarimula, Erandamula and Yava, 50g each of Pippali and Jiraka and 8g each of Twak, Ela, Patra and Nagakesara. Conclusion: All these procedures can be considered ideal in the standardization of the preparation of Baladi Manduram.

EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF RAJATA BHASMA & RAJATA YOGA
No full textChange in life style has resulted in the increased production of free radicals in the body which not only raise the oxidative stress but also plays an important role in the immune system dysfunction. Now a day, human body is continuously exposed to different types of agents that result in production of reactive species called as ‘free radicals’. Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high levels of blood sugar (hyperglycemia). Many evidences from experiments have proved that free radicals and oxidative stress play a major role in complications of Diabetes mellitus like coronary heart disease, Neuropathy, Nephropathy, Retinopathy and stroke. In Ayurveda, the syndrome Diabetes mellitus has been covered under the broad heading of Prameha. Rajata Yoga is mentioned in Rasa Tarangini and indicated in all types of Prameha. Rajata bhasma, Twak churna, Ela churna and Patra Churna are the main ingredients of Rajata Yoga. The aim of present study is to evaluate the in vitro anti oxidant activity of Rajata bhasma & Rajata Yoga. The method followed to evaluate the anti oxidant activity is 1, 1- diphenyl 2- picrrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay has been used in the determination of In- vitro antioxidant activity.Results: Significant Inhibition percentage of Rajata bhasma & Rajata Yoga was seen in increasing order of percentage when sample concentration (100µl, 200µl, 300µl, 400µl, 500µl) was increased. Rajata bhasma showed 69.86% of inhibition and Rajata Yoga showed 80.10% of inhibition in 500 µl sample concentrations respectively

PHARMACEUTICAL STANDARDIZATION OF RAJATA YOGA
No full textRasa Shastra is a branch of Ayurveda which deals with the processing of minerals and metals having therapeutic importance. Rajata comes under the group of metals having high therapeutic values. Minerals and metals are mostly used in the form of bhasma.

The present study has been planned to standardize the method of preparation of a Herbo-mineral formulation i.e., Rajata Yoga. Samanya Shodhana and Visesha Shodhana procedures were adopted for Rajata patra (50g). After Visesha Shodhana, 48g of obtained coarse Rajata patra were subjected to Marana with equal quantity of Kajjali (48g) and sufficient quantity of Kumari Swarasa as bhavana dravya. Totally 25 putas were given to attain Rajata bhasma (90g) which passed all bhasma lakshanas as mentioned in our classics. Rajata bhasma (45g) was mixed with Trijataka churna (Twak churna-300g; Ela churna -300g and Patra churna – 300g) to form homogenous 945g of Rajata Yoga. Thus it can be concluded that Supaka i.e. neither less nor more heat is desirable and is essential for making a drug safe and efficacious
