Comparative analysis of different samples of swarasa of vasa patra

Abstract

Aims and Objectives: Comparative analysis of different samples of Swarasa of Vasa patra To standardize Vasa swarasa prepration method To make comparison between different procedures of Vasa swarasa preparation To establish standard manufacturing procedure of Vasa swarasa To find efficient method of Vasa swarasa preparation in terms of Vasicine content. Collection of Raw Materials:Herbal Garden, Parul Institute of Ayurved and periphery of campus. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in following phases: 1) Conceptual study 2) Pharmacognostical study 3) Pharmaceutical study 4) Analytical study Conclusion: In this study Vasa swaras was prepared by four different types explained in sharangadhar sanhita madhyam khand i.e. Yantra nishpidan, Putpak, Hima and kwath method to find efficient method of vasa swarasa preparation. By using each method three samples of swaras were prepared and its organoleptic and physico-chemical evaluation were done to standardize the method. The Organoleptic, Physico-chemical and phyto-chemical test findings were compared. According to the findings it may be concluded that Yantra nishpidan and Putpak method of swaras preparation was most efficient to obtain the Vasa swaras. According to the quantification of Vasicine, as it is found five times more in Yantra Nishpidan and Putpak method than Hima and Kwath method the first two methods of swarasa extraction were most efficient.
