Shodhana Importance

Samshodhana Aushadhi : (Haritakyadi yoga)

Poorvakarma for RasayanaThe person has to undergo

Vamanadi Samshodhana karma &later when he attains Prakruta

bala,Rasayana prayoga is to be

done.

Without Shodhana if Rasayana isadministered it becomes vyartha

like Maleena vastre ranga

ivaphalaha(A.H.U.1/4).

Generally in Vrudhaphya Shodhana is contraindicated but mridu type of

Shodhana is followed as preventive aspect and as well as for Rasayana

effect.

1) Kutee praveshika Rasayana Chikitsa: It is the most important and the prime Rasayana chikitsa, where the

person will be entering into a three layered building called Trigarbha

Kuti,which is having regulated air flow and light.The person after the cleaning process of body and mind with

Panchakarma procedures, on an auspicious day will enter inside the

Kuti and will have to stay inside for a minimum of 45 days. During

these days the main food supplement will be the Rasayana

Oushadhas

RASAYANA AS IMMUNOMODULATOR

o Activation of macrophages for enhanced generation,o Stimulation of cytotoxic activity and Phagocytosis,

o To prove the hypothesis that Rasayana drugs mayhave immunity promotion effects, DR.Gurdip Singh(1982)carried out an experimental study and showedthatVacha (Acorus columus), Shatavari (Asparagusracemosus) and Mandukaparni (Hydrocotyle asiatica)

significantly increase theserum humoral antibodies inrabbits. Out of these three drugs, the effect ofMandukaparni(Hydrocotyle asiatica) was consideredbetter.

RASAYANA AS ADOPTOGENIC

Majority of Rasayana drugs were proved to have

immunomodulatory property, anabolic effect and antioxidantproperties. Recent advancement in the medical science is pointing

toward another activity of such drugs and these are called

Adaptogenic Property.

What is meant by Adaptogens?The concept of 'Adaptogen' was coined in 1947 by a Russian

Scientist, Lazarev. He defined them as"substances meant to put the

organism into a state of non specific heightened resistance in order

to resist stresses and adapt to extraordinary challenges".
