[EIRI/EDPR/1638] (J.C. 442)

INTRODUCTION

Ayurvedic system of medicine is as old as the Vedic age. Now–a–days people give preference to the Ayurvedic medicines as the allopathic medicines are costlier and have side effects. Ayurvedic medicines are based on plants, animals extract and minerals both in single ingredient drugs and compound formulations, however, Ayurveda does not rule out any substances from being used as a potential source of medicine.

Ayurvedic compound formulations are mainly divided into two groups viz. (1) Kasthausadhi (predominantly plant drugs) and (2). Rasausadhi (predominantly metals and minerals).

There are several categories of Kasthausadhi formulations such as Asavaristra, Avleha, Grafa Churena, Taila etc. and of Rasausadhis such as Bhasma, Pisti, Lauha, Kapibadkva, Rasayana etc.

The Ayurvedic drugs are derived from vegetable sources from the various parts of the plant like root, leaf, flower, fruit extrude or plant as a whole.

There are about 21 varieties of compound formulations in which some of the single drugs of animal origin (52 Nos).

Mineral origin (55 Nos.) and plant origin (351 Nos.) are used. There details of the single drugs and other particulars can be had from the Ayurvedic formulary of India, published by Govt. of India, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Ayurvedic system has its origin in antiquity in our country which has been dedicated to the cure of innumerable ailments. It has been most indelible system for treatment which invariably stood to the test of time.

India abounds in medicinal plants and more than 75% of the vegetable drugs included in pharmacopias are available in the country.

Ayurvedic medicines have been derived from variegated medicinal plants. Forests abound in various medical plants from which various herbs are collected and herbal/ayurvedic medicines are made out of than Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Emchi (Tibetan) and Prakrtika Cikitsa (Naturopathy) are the various traditional systems of medicine still prevalent in India.

The word `Ayurveda' is composed of two Sanskrit terms, viz., `ayus' meaning `life' and `veda' meaning the `knowledge' and taken together, it means the "Science of Life". However, in a limited sense, it is always used to imply "the Science of Medicine". Charaka has defined ayurveda as the "Science through the help of which one can obtain knowledge about the useful and harmful types of life (hita and ahita ayus), happy and miserable types of life, things which are useful and harmful for such types of life, the span of life as well as the very nature of life.

There has been a tremendous work on Ayurveda viz. Astaga Hardaya which deals with drugs, their intricate composition and pharmacologial action. This system has a great efficacy in eradicating ailments from their root cause, though the action of Ayurvedic medicines may be slower.
