A CRITICAL REVIEW ON MEDHYA RASAYANA AND ITS MALIABILITY WITH NEURAL CONNECTION

Abstract

Ayurveda, a Divine science with a divine origin has made its excistence till today only because of its wide diversities in herbal, herboimineral and mineral based formulations. Apart from that the treatment principles are excellent and have been planned with dew care. With such a bacground Ayurveda has been roaring in the society. Our Acharyas talk about both Mansika swasthya and shareerika swasthya. In today’s world shareerika swasthya is possible by many ways explained in Ayurvedic text and preventive measures are also written. Mana, Mathishka, budhi, are other entities which have been constantly working to keep up the heigher mental functions. In modern there is a wide explaination of organs related to these heigher mental functions but when it comes to the working and pathogenesis of any neural/ nervous disorders there are only hypothesis proposed. Most of the heigher mental functions/ coagnitive fuctions are carried by sneurons. Neurons are the basic cells of nervous system which involve as a part of rachana shareera and the impulse which are been transmitted and the participation of many chemicals in this act, is the part of shareera kriya. Neural connections can be improved by many herbs described in Ayurveda . The main aim of the proposed study is to understand and interpret how application of Medhya Rasayana will help in improving these neural connections either by directly nourishing mastishka or by samprabhodana of the structural components participating in the formation of intellect could be the purpose and by this we can also tackel the cognitive disorders etc
