PREPARATION OF NITYODITA RASA IN THREE BATCHES

Abstract

Among all the formulation described for arsharoga in Rasashastra text, Nityodita Rasa is the better herbomineral formulation. Nowadays market sample of this Rasaushadhi is not availa-ble, so preparation for standardization of Nityodita rasa was very difficult task.This is the formulation very effective and potent for vatakaphaj arsha and jirna raktarsha. The basic reference regarding Nityodita rasa under the arsha rogadhikara was found in Rasendrasara samgraha. For standardization three batches of Nityodita rasa were prepared. Rasasindur mainly used in vatakaphaja arsha, abhrakabhasma poses tissue restoration, regulates dhatu pariposhana, hence can be useful in vatakaphaj arsha and jirna raktarsha for better im-provement. In jirna raktarsha atrophy, degeneration of muscles and nerves at anal region causes painful condition, where lohabhasma gives relief from such condition. Main property of tamrabhasma is lekhana, hence useful in jirna raktarsha. Vatsanabha possesses the prop-erties like jwarashamaka, swedala hence can be used in kaphanubandhi arsha. Bhallataka mainly acts in vatakaphaj arsha and used in kaphaj agnimandya janya arsha. Suranakanda is best dravya in arsha. Because of that these were the ingredients taken for preparation of Nityodita rasa. Nityodita rasa vati were prepared without disturbing proportions in three batches. For concrete establishment of standard operating procedure for the preparation of Nityodita rasa, more extensive study with preparation of this kalpa by both conventional and modern method by adopting various references should be needed. Also animal trial of such a wonderful drug should be needed for efficacy of drug in arsharoga.
