A Conceptual Review on Dosage of Rasayana Formulations
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Rasayana drugs are found from single drug therapy to compound formulations. Number of formulations, may be primary or secondary are portrayed to possess Rasayana effect. The dose of many of these Rasayana drugs were not specified along with the Phalasruti. So as per general rule the dose specified for the dosage form have to be considered. Meanwhile it is pertinent to note that these formulations were indicated in certain diseases as curative apart from the Rasayana action. Whether the action as Rasayana and action as Vyadhihara is attained with similar dose is the question which was key in this work. A thorough literature search was carried out to collect Rasayana drugs from single drug to compound formulations from different Samhita and other books of Ayurveda. Further an attempt was made to understand the relation on mode of administration, dose of Rasayana and its action on the body. It was observed that the dose of certain drugs used as Rasayana were higher from the general dosage, like in case of Shilajatu rasayana. Or an increasing order of dose along with specified duration was noted in the administration of Jyotishmati taila, Vardhamana pippali/ bhallathaka, Parpati kalpa, etc. These instances suggests that the dose of the Rasayana yogas need to be validated rather than considering the dose mentioned for these yogas as per the kalpana
