15. EVALUATION OF ANTIPYRETIC ACTIVITY OF SUDARSHAN CHURNA: AN
AYURVEDIC FORMULATION
Article in The journal of research and education in Indan medicine by Sushil Bhargava, Surendra sarif, Paridhi Bhargava
and Ravindra pandey.
Abstract- Sudarshan churna is very potent Ayurvedic preparation, which is used traditionally as antimalarial and
antipyretic formulation. Swertia chirata is key ingredient in Sudarshan churna. The purpose of study was to evaluate
antipyretic activity of Sudharshan churna. Aqueous extracts of Sudarshan churna was evaluated for antipyretic activity
using two models including hyperpyrexia-induced in rats by brewer’s yeast and another one hyperpyrexia induced in
rabbits by Typhoid-Paratyphoid A, B vaccine. Like Paracetamol (100 mg/kg, p.o.), Sudarshan churna, showed significant
reduction in elevated body temperature at 200 mg/kg, p.o. On the basis of study, it was concluded that aqueous extract of
Sudarshan churna has shown significant antipyretic activity.

raktakshaya, medakshaya (weakness), occurs, these are the signs of Pandu roga Prevalence of anaemia in India is 75% out
of these 48.4% of women in Maharashtra are anaemic. The prevalence of anaemia is high because of low dietary intake,
poor iron and folic acid intake and poor bio availability of iron, etc. Here 60 patients were selected randomly in the study
and given 4gms/day in two divides dose with provement and also increase in hemoglobin percentage was noticed. No
significant therapy anaemia in modern sciences. So study has been performed to evaluate the effect of management of
Anaemia. It is reported that as well as preventing the Anaemia.
Conclusion- After analyzing all the data and the observation we conclude that administration of Talisadi churna is
effective in Pandu Roga. No adverse event recorded during clinical trial hence we may conclude that Talisadi churna is
highly significant in reducing the severity of symptoms of Pandu viz. Panduta, jwara, gatrashula, daurabalya, nidraluta,

27. Discussion
• In a churna preparation each drug has to be pounded individually and then mixed thoroughly, because each drug
differs from other in its consistency and constituents, Hence they are to be powdered separately.
• Hingu, Saidhava lavana and some drugs are there in churna, they should be fried first and then powdered and mixed,
because frying before powdering facilitates the evaporation of moisture content so as to prevent spoilage due to their
hygroscopic nature.
• त्रिकटुकमजमोदा सैन्धवं जीरक
े द्वे
समधरर्णधृतानामष्टमो हहंगुभागः।
॥१०।५९॥; भै. र​
In Hingvashtaka churna the quantity of hingu should be taken as Ashtama bhaga?
• Suitable of type of churna to be used in other different kalpanas
Ex: Sthula churna in Kwatha preparation, Sukshma churna in sneha kalpana.
