Introduction: Darvyadi Leha is a classical Ayurveda formulation for Pandu Roga (anemia) described in Charak Samhita and Bhaishajya Ratnavali. Its ingredients include Daruharidra (Berberis aristata), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Vibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica), Amalki (Emblica officinalis), Shunthi (Zingiber officinalis), Pippali (Piper longum), Marich (Piper nigrum), Vidanga (Embelia ribes), and Ayoraj (Lauh bhasma). Avaleha dosage form is semisolid with thick consistency and will have the benefits of easy administration, better palatability, and longer shelf life. Objectives: To study the pharmacological evidences of Darvyadi Leha and its components. Materials and Methods: Research literature published in online journals of PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, DHARA, and Ayush Research Portal, was searched extensively. The keywords used were pharmacological evidence or study of Darvyadi Leha, Daruharidra (B. aristata), Haritaki (T. chebula), Vibhitaki (T. bellirica), Amalki (E. officinalis), Shunthi (Z. officinalis), Pippali (P. longum), Marich (P. nigrum), Vidanga (E. ribes) and Ayoraj (Lauh bhasma). Journals published online in last 20 years were considered. Ayurveda classical texts were also referred. Observations: The components of drug, Darvyadi Leha have shown several properties namely anti-oxidant, bio-availability enhancer, anti-tussive, hepatoprotective, anti-atherosclerosis, and anti-microbial activities in in vitro studies and animal trials. Clinical evidences show significant therapeutic effect of Darvyadi Leha on anemia. Conclusion: The drug, Darvyadi Leha has a promising therapeutic potential to be used as a Rasayana drug, an anti-infective agent and drug for iron deficiency anemia. The same needs to be further validated with larger, multicentric, standard controlled and randomized clinical trials.

Background: Chromatographic fingerprinting of herbal formulations is a useful tool for explaining the scientific background and to develop a more targeted treatment methodology. Thus, this study has undertaken to report the characteristic parameters of chitraka granthikadi kashaya an ayurvedic polyherbal formulation to validate its quality. Materials and Methods: The root of Shodhita (purified) Chitraka (Plumbago zeylanica L.) and Eranda (Ricinus communis L.), dried rhizome of Shunti (Zingiber officinale Roscoe.), fruit of Pippali (Piper longum L.), and Saindhava lavana (Rock salt) were the ingredients of chitraka granthikadi kashaya. The Kwatha (medicated decoction) was prepared and evaluated for its phytochemical parameters and thin layer chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry chromatography parameters in accordance with the standard methods. Results: The phytochemical screening, GC–MS study, and TLC of the formulation reported the presence of 13 potential bioactive compounds. The action of these compounds based on the available literature has given a close similarity with the therapeutic action of the formulation. Conclusion: The presence of 13 bioactive compounds was found in this formulation with different peak values. Major compounds present are piperine, B-sitosterol, geranyl isovalarate, hexacosane, etc. Few compounds were very minimal and even no sufficient literature data available for them.

Xerosis of the foot can lead to cracks in plantar surface with discomfort, pain, and predisposition to infection. This study was conducted to evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of Amarantha footcare cream (AFC) in subjects suffering from cracked heels (xerosis of feet). A total of 79 subjects (26 in AFC group, 26 in marketed cracked heal cream [MCHC] group, and 27 in Amarantha wound healing cream [AWHC] group) were completed the study. All trial subjects were advised to apply sufficient quantity of given creams, twice daily for 28 days or till complete clearance of the cracked heel, whichever was earlier. Study subjects were called for follow-up visits on days 7, 14, 21, and 28. Clinical trial registry of India registration number is CTRI/2020/11/028829. The mean days required for complete healing of cracked heel were 16.69, 22.96, and 25.74 in AFC, MCHC, and AWHC groups respectively. The mean xerosis score was significantly reduced (P < 0.01) in AFC group than other groups from baseline to end of study. Overall clinical cutaneous score was significantly (p < 0.01) reduced in AFC group as compared to other two groups on day 7, 14 and 21. AFC group showed overall very much improvement than other two groups at the end of the study. Few adverse events were reported; however, none was related to study drugs. AFC is safe and effective for the treatment of cracked heels (planter xerosis).

Background: Yogic breathing (i.e., pranayama) and meditation techniques (YBMT) are the most important parts of yoga. Regular practice of yoga has shown to improve pulmonary functions in healthy as well as in people with pulmonary diseases. However, studies on effectiveness of YBMT alone on lung function are lacking. Aims: To evaluate the short-term effect of YBMT on peak expiratory flow rate in healthy individuals. Settings and Design: A pilot randomized controlled study was done in a medical college hospital located in South India. Materials and Methods: Sixty healthy individuals were randomly allocated to either a study group or a control group. Study group practiced YBMT for 10 min/day for 2 weeks, while the control group was under their normal routine. Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) was assessed before and after 2 weeks of intervention. Statistical Analysis: Independent t test and paired t test were conducted to compare the means of inter groups and intra-groups using SPSS, version 16. Results: A significant increase in PEFR was observed in the study group (P < 0.001), unlike the control group (P = 0.588). Moreover, a significant increase in PEFR was observed in the study group (P = 0.047) compared to the control group. Conclusion: Results suggest that YBMT might be useful in improving PEFR in healthy individuals.

Background: Ayurveda is age-old medical system, practiced in India. Ayurveda medicines are being prepared from natural sources like herbs, animal products, and minerals. Ancient Ayurveda scholars have mentioned various pharmaceutical procedures to make it bioavailable. They also mentioned about various parameters to control the quality and standardize those formulations. But due to globalization and industrialization, it is need of the time to produce medicines in larger scale and to evaluate its quality with currently available tools for the global acceptance of Ayurveda. Gandhakadi Yoga Vati is an herbo-mineral formulation used as an adjuvant in the management of Thalassemia Major. Till date quality data of this formulation is not been evaluated. Aims and Objectives: To analyze the Gandhakadi Yoga Vati through pharmacognostically and physicochemical parameters. Materials and Methods: In this analytical study, preauthenticated raw drugs were procured from pharmacy, ITRA, Jamnagar. Drug was prepared at RSBK department and pharmacy, ITRA, Jamnagar. Organoleptic parameters and microscopic analysis of Vati were done at pharmacognosy department, ITRA. Physicochemical analysis and high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) were carried out at pharmaceutical laboratory, ITRA. Results: Microscopic characteristics of Gandhakadi Yoga Vati showed simple trichome, starch grain, epidermal cells, fibers, parenchymal cell of Agastya Patra (Sesbenia grandiflora Linn.), pitted stone cells, lignified stone cell, trichome, tanin content, prismatic crystal, brown content, spool cells of Vidanga (Embelia ribes Burm.f.), and black debris of Gandhaka. In physicochemical analysis, Ash value was 8.64%w/w, loss on drying was 0.85%w/w, pH was 6.4, acid-insoluble ash value was 2.49% w/w alcohol-soluble extractive was 14.9%w/w, and water-soluble extractive was 5.09%w/w. HPTLC study showed 06 and 07 peaks at 254 and 366 nm wave lengths, respectively. Conclusion: This study generated preliminary data on pharmacognostical, physicochemical parameters, and HPTLC of Gandhakadi Yoga Vati. These fingerprinting can be useful for future researchers to reproduce this formulation.
