2. AYURVEDA
• Indians medicine comes from ayurveda which is said to be the science of life and was brahma.
• Ayurveda contains originated by and the healing art.
• Ayurvedic medicine system from the ancient era knowledge of medicines, utilises many pharmaceutical dosage forms that
are derived from vegetable drugs and modern system of medicine practice.
• Now a days allopathic however the pharmacists should be aware ayurvedic dosage forms and manufacturing.
• This is of prevailing their process of a point of consideration as indian population in rural areas depend on ayurvedic drugs.
• Interest has been developed around the world for ayurvedic products, espicially for herbel drugs. And wsmetics.
• Ayurvedic dosage forms are also less expensive than the allopathic dusage forms.
Classification of ayurvedic formulation.
(1) Classical ayurvedic medicines:
These medicines are present on ayurvedic text books such as charaka, samhita, sushruta sam hita ek. Manufacturing
company follows same formula and prepare medicine eg. Bhasmas, asavas, grishta, taila et.
2) Proprietary medicine:
These are also known as patent medice or modern ayurvedic medicines.
Their formulas, dosage form are decided by the manufacturing company and ingredient used in these preprations are not
found in traditional ayurvedic text book. Eg- capsules, syrups et.
3. ARISHTAS
• ARISHTAs are prepared by the process of fermentation for a specific time period after boiling the main decoction
Substance and adding other ingredients.
• Arishta is an ancient medical preparation mentioned in vedas, having Ayurvedic medicines.
Method of Preparation
1) The drug is coarsely powdered (jaukut) to prepare Kasaya which is strained and transferred to fermentation vessel.
2) Required amount of sugar, Jaggery, or honey are dissolved, boiled, and then added to mixture obtained after straining
the Kasaya.
3) An earthen lid is used to. cover the mouth of vessel, and clay- smeared cloth is used to seal the edges by winding it in
seven repeated layers.
4) for the fermentation process, the temperature has to be kept constant, this can be achieved by placing the container in
special room, in an underground esfetar Cellar, or in a heap of paddy.
5) The jar is uncovered (lid is removed) after a prescribed time and the contents are inspected to determine whether or not
Complete fermentation has occured.
6) The fluid in jar is decanted followed by straining after 2-3 days only when the fine suspended particles has settled at the
bottom.
7) The liquid obtained after straining is the product which is filtered and the filtrate is stored in bottle.
4. 8) This filtered Arishta has a character stic, aromatic and alcoholic odour.
• Decoction of Drug is prepared and placed in fermentation vessel
• Sugar, jiggery or honey is added
• Closed with earthen lid sealed edges with clay & cloth
• Fermented at constant temprature
• Set aside to settle down particle matter.
• Fluid decanted & filtered
• Boil to avoid further fermentation
• filled in bottle and shake.
• Standardisation of process:
• Standardisation refers standardising a preparation per the studied characters of plants. Standardisa of
Arishtas is done in either of two ways.
a) By using standardised raw material
b) By maintaining a definite time period, tempratur light and humidity conditions.
5. • The Arishta products are repro ducible since all the conditions are well-defined, thereby. elimination batch-
to-batch variation.
Standardisation of finished product
• The traditional analytical approch involving monograph like viscosity, density, refractive index, and polarity
needs estimation for which uniformity. is required. Total amount of alcohol the preparation holds is
estimated. Other parameters include TLC, HPTLC etc.
General Problems Associated with their Standardisation
• During the standardisation of Arishta preparations,the following problems arise:
1) The preparation is polyherbal.
2) Active constituents are not identified, thus its specificaction cannot be determined.
3) Any such pharmacological preparation has be not been.
4) identified which can counteract a drug Activity of preparation is known, but information on dose and
side effects is still unknown.
5) Clinical data is absent.ExampleAbhyarista, Balarista, Khadirarishta, Das muluristo Vidangarishta etc.
