Hepato-protective Effect of an Ayurvedic Formulation Prak-20 in CCl 4 Induced Toxicity in Rats: Results of Three Studies
Prak-20, an ayurvedic herbo-mineral formulation, was studied for its hepato-protective effects in rats. It showed no significant liver damage or elevated enzyme levels compared to controls. In higher doses, it reduced liver enzymes by up to 54% and minimized liver damage. These results suggest Prak-20 is effective in protecting the liver, with further research needed on its mechanism.
Transformation of Copper into therapeutic mineral complex following principles of Rasa Shastra
Rasa Shastra, an Ayurvedic branch, transforms toxic substances into safe therapeutics. A compound using Copper, Mercury, Sulphur, Luffa echinata, Clitoria ternatea, and lemon juice was effective in treating pancreatic disorders. The 2015-17 study developed standard procedures and analyzed the compound, revealing new mineral forms and no free metals. This demonstrates the potential of traditional methods in safely converting metals into effective treatments.
Prevalence of Anemia among Pregnant Women and Adolescent Girls in 16 Districts of India
Nutritional anemia is widespread in India, affecting 84.9% of pregnant women and 90.1% of adolescent girls. Severe anemia is prevalent in both groups. The Government of India provides iron and folic acid to pregnant women, but no similar program exists for adolescent girls. Interventions should address iron, B12, and folic acid deficiencies.
Ayurvedic preparation in the treatment of nutritional anemia
A pilot study on 600 anemic women showed the highest hemoglobin gain (1.8 g%) with a combination of Ayurvedic preparations SS and Ayas, followed by Ayas (1.6 g%), SS (1.5 g%), and IFA tablets (1.1 g%). SS, a non-iron Ayurvedic preparation, improved iron absorption and showed promising results with minimal side effects.
Observational research on the effect of an Ayurvedic treatment protocol in patients of hereditary pancreatitis
Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is a chronic genetic disorder with limited treatment options. This study evaluated the efficacy of a year-long Ayurvedic Treatment Protocol (ATP) in 151 patients, 88 of whom completed the program. The treatment included Ayurvedic formulations, dietary adjustments, and discontinuation of pancreatic enzymes. Results showed a 92.8% reduction in attack frequency and a 98.7% decrease in hospitalizations (p < 0.0001), with no adverse effects. ATP demonstrated safety and effectiveness in managing HP, suggesting the need for further research.
Integration of Ayurvedic formulations with iron folic acid in the treatment of nutritional anaemia among school going adolescents of Dehradun District
This study evaluated the effect of Ayurvedic preparations Sootshekhar Rasa (SR) and Sitopaladi Churna (SC) with iron and folic acid (IFA) on nutritional anaemia in 820 adolescents in Dehradun, India. After 90 days of treatment, all groups showed increased haemoglobin levels, with the best results in the group receiving SR + SC + IFA. No major side effects were reported, and the treatment led to sustainable improvements in anaemia.
