ABSTRACT

 Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest medical systems and remains as one of India’s traditional health care systems. Most of the Ayurvedic formulations are herbal, some of the formulation contain poisonous drugs also. It is essential to do the sodhana of these toxic drugs before using it therapeutically. The concept of sodhana not only means the removal of physical and chemical impurities but also minimizing the side effects of the drugs and thereby making the drug capable for pharmaceutical preparation. Kupeelu is described under upavisha varga whose seeds have been used against a number of diseases after proper sodhana. It is a spinal poison that acts particularly on the anterior horn cell of the spinal cord. It is a CNS stimulant, producing excitation of all portions of the nervous system. Convulsions are produced due to direct action on the reflex Centre of the spinal cord and affects all muscles at a time. So, it is very essential to remove the physicaland chemical impurities of kupeelu by proper sodhana methods before using it therapeutically. Different sodhana methods for Kupeelu have been mentioned in Ayurvedic classics such as Rasa tarangani, Yogaratnakara, Kriyakoumadi etc. Various media have been mentioned in textbooks such as godugdham, tanduliya swarasam, kataka kwatha, takra, gomutra, gogrutha etc. In this study the media used for sodhana procedures were godugdham, gogrutham, gomootram, takram, and kanjikam. Aim of the study is to establish the physicochemical changes occurring in kupeelu after sodhana and also to analyze the rawkupeelu sample with sodhita kupeelu in different media. After sodhana procedures, chemical constituents were analyzed by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). Then quantitative analysis was done by using High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC). The quantities of Strychnine and brucine before and after purification were analyzed with paired t test and the comparison between each sample of purified kupeelu was made using one way ANOVA. Significant decrease in the quantity of brucine was found in the kupeelu purified in (Go mutram+ Go ksheeram), takram and Danyamlam (p<0.001). Significant decrease in the amount of strychnine was observed in the Kupeelu purified with go ksheeram, go mutram, Danyamlam, Takram, go ghrutham all exhibit highly significant mean difference (p<0.001) incompared with Raw materials.

ABSTRACT

COVID 19 disease is caused by a new variant coronavirus called SARS -CoV-2. WHO identified this virus in December 2013. Covid 19 affects different people in different ways. The disease commonly manifests with symptoms like fever, dry cough, tiredness, sore throat, diarrhoea, conjunctivitis, headache,anosmia,  dfficulty  in breathing or shortness of breath. Even after recovery and being tested negative for the disease, a considerable traction of people suffers from various post covid symptoms ranging from headache, cough, anosmia, sleeplessness etc.The serious post covid complications seems to be associated with cardiopulmonary system. Other less serious systemic post covid-19 symptoms which are often noted includes fatigue, headache, body pain, dyspnoea etc. The severity of headache in covid-19 varies from moderate to severe. The pain may be throbbing or pulsating in nature. Postcovid headache resembles migraine and tension type headache. It can be correlated to Vataja shirashoola  according to ayurvedic classics. As the symptoms reveal Vata Pitta predominance, its management should include drugs which are having madhura, seetha, snigdha, brimhana, and rasayana properties. As Balamoola, Ashwagandha and Ksheera are having these properties, study is planned to assess the effect of Pratimarsha nasya with Ksheerabala (7) avarti, Shiroabhyangam with Balatailam along with Ashwagandha choorna in 100ml milk as internal medicine in managing post covid headache. This protocol is very convenient for the patient to practice at home. Pre and post interventional study will be conducted in 20 patients selected as per the inclusion criteria from OPD of Shalakyathanthra and Ayuraksha OP (Kayachikitsa Govt Ayurveda College, Thiruvananthapuram). The effect of treatment will be assessed on the basis of improvement of subjective symptoms, Ksheerabala (7) avarti is selected for Pratimarsha nasya and Balataila for shiroabhyanga. For Pratimarsha nasya 1ml  of Ksheerabala (7) avarti is instilled each nostril twice daily ,shiroabhyangam is exercised before bath and 5gm of Ashwagandha Churna is given with100ml milk at bed time. This whole ayurvedic protocol should be followed for 15days. The patient will be assessed on 0^th,.8^th  16^th  day of treatment and result will be statistically analyzed  after the study.
