Journal Title: Int J of Pharm Res & Analy - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Tamaka Shwasa is a Swatantra Vyadhi& having its own etiology, pathology & management. Its clinical feature resembles with the Bronchial asthma, a very distressing disease of respiratory system producing dyspnoea & discomfort, making life miserable. The GINA report 2012 says, Asthma is a serious global health problem. Vasadi Vati is mentioned in classical text of Yogratnakar in Shwasa chikitsa adhyay, which contains Vasa, Haridra, Dhanyaka, Guduchi, Bharangi, Pippali, Sunthi, Kantakari and Marich. Till date there is no reference regarding scientific analysis of Vasadi vati, so the present work was carried out to standardize the finished product Vasadi vati to conform its identity, quality and purity. The presence of Trichome, Aloerone grains, Epicarp cells along with oil globule, Simple and compound starch grains, Border pitted vessels, Collenchyma cells were the characteristic features observed in the microscopy of drug. Physico-chemical analysis shows water soluble extract is 31.1 % w/wand PH is 6.0. High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) at 254nm and 366nm resulted into 10 & 9 spots respectively.
