Kalpa Sthana Chapter 1, Chapter on formulations of Madanaphala

Abstract

The chapter Madanakalpa Adhyaya deals with the basic and important concepts about the drugs used for vamana (therapeutic emesis) and virechana (therapeutic purgation). Among the emetic drugs, Madanaphala is the best because it does not produces any adverse effects, therefore the section of Kalpa Sthana is started from Madanaphala formulations. Hereafter,a brief definition of vamana and virechana karma, and the mode of action of these drugs has been described. The factors responsible for promoting therapeutic efficacy of these drugs have also been mentioned. Further, three kinds of habitats and the characteristic features of these habitats, suitable time and method for drug collection are given. Subsequent to collecting the drugs (or herbs), storage and formulations of Madanaphala and specific procedure for administering emetic drugs have been given. Several dosage forms of Madanaphala viz. – pills, powders, linctuses, utkarika, vati, modaka, sashkuli and in the forms of badara and sashava have been discussed. At the end of the chapter, important synonyms of Madanaphala viz. madana, karahata, ratha, pinditaka, phala and ivasana is given.

Keywords: Madanaphala, vamana, virechana

Introduction

In the preceding section to Kalpa Sthana, i.e., in Chikitsa Sthana, therapeutic emesis and purgation have been prescribed in the context of the treatment of various diseases. In this section, these recipes have been described in detail. Generally, purgation therapy is administered only after the administration of emetic therapy. Therefore the chapters describing emetic therapy are placed before the chapters dealing with purgative therapy in Kalpa Sthana.

Among emetic drugs, Madanaphala is considered to be the best because it does not cause any adverse effect. That explains why a chapter on Madanaphala precedes all other chapters in this section.

Kalpa means "that which is processed". In this context, pharmaceutical preparations are called Kalpa. This Sthana is called Kalpa Sthana since formulations of emetics and purgatives have been described here. The preparations which expel the dosha upwards through mouth are called Urdhavabhagahara (emetics) and those which expel downwards through rectum are Adhobhagahara (purgatives). For this action, the vamana drugs having vayu and agni predominance and virechana drugs are prithvi and jala predominant. But the vamana and virechana action is mainly due to prabhava (effect). It is clearly mentioned that these drugs became efficacious by the effect of desha (appropriate habitat), kala (season and time), guna (enriched with excellent attributes) and bhaajana (storing in appropriate containers).

In this reference three basic kind of desha (habitat) i.e. jangala, anupa and sadharana have been ascribed on the basis of specific flora and fauna. Laws for collection of different parts of a plant ,i.e., roots in summers or late winter when the leaves of the trees have ripened and withered away; barks, rhizome and latex in autumn; heartwood in Hemanta (early winter); and flowers and fruits during appropriate seasons have been laid out.

Since these are variations with regard to place (desha) and time (kala), preparations and processing of drugs and it is not possible to prescribe one drug which might be universally applicable. Moreover the drugs may not be available everywhere. Hence a number of formulations of Madanaphala are described. The physician may select one out of them which is suitable for the person.

Further the number six hundred for vamana and virechana preparations is not restrictive, it is only for guidance to brilliant scholars to formulate more while it would serve as standard for average physician.

Thus, the first chapter Madanakalpa throws the light on complete Kalpa Sthana and also deals with the basic concepts to understand the habitat, collection and storage of unprocessed drugs (or ingredients) and the pharmacodynamics of vamana and virechana drugs.

Vamana (therapeutic emesis) and Virechana (therapeutic purgation)

तत्र दोषहरणमूर्ध्वभागं वमनसञ्ज्ञकम्, अधोभागं विरेचनसञ्ज्ञकम्; उभयं वा शरीरमलविरेचनाद्विरेचनसञ्ज्ञां लभते||४||

Of all drugs, those that eliminate impurities from the upper part are known as emetics while those that act via the lower part are called purgatives. Or (broadly), both are collectively termed as evacuatives (or purgatives) because of their purging out excrement from the body. [4]

Pharmacodynamics of Vamana

The ushna, tikshna, sukshma, vyavayi and vikashi drugs, because of their vigorous ability in reaching the heart and circulating through the vessels, affect masses of impurity within the entire body, liquefying them and making them pass through large and small ducts (due to the fiery nature of such drugs) and detach them due to their sharpness. Consequently the detached masses left floating get ejected by udana (vayu). They get thrown upwards because of the natural composition of the drug with agni and vayu (Mahabhutas) and the specific potency (for emesis). When the natural composition of the drug predominates in jala and prithvi and there is specific potency (for purgation), it goes down. When both the above characters are combined it moves both ways. Thus the definition is said in brief. [5]

A region could be of three types – arid, marshy and medium/normal. Of these, the arid zone is primarily sparse. As regards plants, there are dense fruits of Kadara, Khadira, Asana, Aswakarna, Dhava, Tinisa, Sallaki, Sala, Somavalka, Badari, Tinduka, Asvaittha, Vata and Amalaki, predominance of Sami, Kakubha and Shimshipa, young (immature) plants that are firm, dry and those that, when shaken with severe winds, sway vigorously as if dancing. The land abounds in mirages, is thin, coarse, rough and abounds in sand and gravels. The region is inhabited by birds such as the common quail, partridge, chakora. The place abounds in vata and pitta and is inhabited mostly by firm and hard people.

Marshy regions have dense forests of Hintala, Tamala,, coconut trees, and banana plants. These lands adjoin coasts of sea and rivers, abounding in cold breeze. The land is intercepted by water streams having Vanjula and Vanira (willow) plants on banks, adorned with hills and bowers, abounding in trees attended by mild breeze. The region is full of rows of flowered plants in abundance, embraced with amorous branches of trees resounding with coos of swan, Chakravaka, crane, Nandimukha, Pundanka, Kadamba, Madgu, Bhringaraja, Sataparna and the intoxicatingly sweet koyal. The region is typically inhabited by delicate people and is dominated by vata and kapha.

A region is considered to be of medium or normal kind that has the combined characters of the above two in respect of plants, birds and animals and is inhabited by people firm, delicate, endowed with strength, complexion and compactness and other medium qualities. [8]

Of all medicinal plants, those that are grown in time (proper season), grow mature with taste, potency and smell; have smell, color, taste, touch and efficacy unaffected by time, sun, fire, water, air and organisms, are fresh and situated in northern direction (should be collected). Their branches and leaves should be collected in rainy seasons and when those plants are fully matured; bark, tubers and latex should be collected in autumn; heartwood in early winter and flowers and fruits according to their season. These should be collected by one with auspicious behavior, benevolent conduct, cleanliness and white dress after worshiping, observing fast and facing toward east or north. [10]

Of all the emetic drugs, Madana fruits are regarded as the best ones because they are free from complications. These should be collected during the period of transition between spring and summer in Pusya, Aswini or Mrigasiras constellation and Maitra Muhurta. Those which are ripe, undamaged, non-green, of pale color, free organisms, under-composed, uneaten by animals, not too small (immature) should be taken. Having been washed, wrapped within Kusa grass and pasted with fresh cow-dung they should be stored for eight days in the heap of one of the following-barley husk, black gram, Sali rice, horse gram and green gram. Thereafter when they are softened and develop good honey-like aroma they should be taken out and dried (in the sun). When they are well-dried, their pepper-like seeds should be mixed gently with ghee, curd, honey and sesamum paste and again dried. Finally they should be filled up in a new earthen pitcher, well-cleaned and dustless, up to neck and placed well on a swing of rope well-covered and well-protected. [13]

The patient, the subject of emesis, having been administered with unction and sudation for two or three days, should be fed meat soups of domestic, marshy and aquatic animals, milk, curd, black gram, sesamum, vegetable etc. in the night prior to emesis, in order to excite kapha. Next day when the previous food is digested, in the forenoon, after performing offering, oblations, auspicious and expiatory rites, he should take a dose of ghee along with gruel (on an empty stomach) that may not be very smooth or greasy. The physician should take one closed fist sized dosage of seeds of Madanaphala, pound them and impregnate them with a decoction of Yastimadhu or one of these-Kovidara, Karbudara, Nipa, Vidula, Bimbi, Sanapuspi and Prayakpuspi-for the whole (previous) night. In the morning, this mix should be pressed and filtered, added with honey and rock salt and heated slightly. The cup filled with the drug should be enchanted with the following hymn:-

“Brahma, Daksa, Asvina, Rudra, Indra, Earth, Moon, Sun, Air, Fire, Sages, medicinal plants and multitude of creatures may protect you.This drug may prove for you as Rasayana for the sages, nectar for the gods and ambrosia for the best among serpents.”

After enchanting thus, the physician should administer the drug to the patient facing northward or eastward particularly suffering from kaphaja fever, gulma and coryza time and again until bile begins to come out. Thus he vomits well. If the urges are deficient, they should be moved by administering paste of Pippali, Amalaka, Sarsapa, Vacha and salt dissolved in hot water frequently till bile is seen. This is the entire method of administration of emetic drugs. [14]

In all emetic formulations, honey and rock salt should be added for liquefying kapha (mucus). There is no adverse reaction of honey to heat when added to an emetic formulation as it returns back without digestion and helps in the elimination of impurity. [15]

Tattva Vimarsha

The excelled physico-pharmacological properties of a Vamana drug, which is known as Veerya (potency) are as follows; Tikshna (sharp),sukshma (subtle),vyavayi (pervading) and vikasi(loosening). In fact, those are basically expression of agni and Vayumahabhutas. Because of agni and Vayumahabhuta, they have the inherency to move upwards, thereby, all such drugs perform their action to eliminate impurities from upper tract. They perform their action by reaching to the heart and circulating in the body through vascular system and conjugated mass in the form of impurities is liquefied and float in the oiled body. This liquefied impurities reaches in the stomach and due to inherence of the aforesaid potencies in association of udana vayu, the impurities are expelled through gastro-oral route. But vamana drugs serves their function not only because of the predominance of specific mahabhuta but also due to their prabhava (specific action). If the predominance of mahabhutas is considered to be the only causative factors. Then there are many drugs with the above mahabhuta predominance and not have vamana action (Ca.Ka.1/5).

The drugs are required to be collected keeping in view the appropriate habitat (desha-sampat), appropriate season (kala-sampat) and their effective attributes (guna-smapat). The vamana dravya (drug) possesses strong potency endowed due to desha(habitat),kala(time), guna (properties) and bhaajana (container) (Ca.Ka.1/7).

To understand the habitat of a drug, place have been categorically divided into three major types; jangala (wild/arid), anupa (aquatic/marshy)and sadharana (medium/combined of arid and marshy). The examples of the plant grown in particular habitat are enumerated separately under each category. Not only that the characteristic features of that place with fauna of the area is also lucidly described (Ca.Ka.1/8).

It is emphasized that timely grown, mature, unaffected by environment and organisms are the best drug for collection (Ca.Ka.1/9).

Further their collection time in accordance with season and part specific of the plant is note worthy, which reflects quality, safety and efficacy of a particular drug. It is worthy to mention here that even cleanliness and conduct of a person who will be collecting the parts of the medicinal plants has been directed, which shows deep concern of the Ayurvedic scholars for best quality drugs for human welfare(Ca.Ka.1/10).

After collection and procurement of the plant drug parts, the method of administration in accordance with the involvement of three doshas for best effectiveness has been narrated. Also the adjuvant with the drugs like curd, honey, fruit juices, decoctions, cows urine etc. according to dosha (vata, pitta and kapha) involvement in predominance is vividly stated, which has great therapeutic value (Ca.Ka.1/12).

Amongst all the emetic vegetable origin drugs, fruits of Madanaphala are regarded as best as they are free from any kind of adverse effect leading to complications. For the best efficacy and free from any complication specific collection time of matured fruits as well as post collection processing in natural condition, characteristics of quality to be observed has been guided. All such quality material for their storage system is also given, which shows standard method for the good clinical practices(Ca.Ka.1/13).

The selected patient and the normal person agreed for the emetic procedure must follow the unction and sudation steps for beneficial desired effect. Day-to-day regimen of consumption of food during different period of time has great relevance, which is quite convenience in accordance to theory of Ayurveda which is unique because no one can be kept away from the dietary regimen even in the state of suffering. As per the ancient tradition of administration of medicine to have the uncomplicated effect, chanting of hymns is mentioned, which has psychological effect (Ca.Ka.1/14).

For the elimination of the impurities, a common vehicle/adjuvant i.e., honey and rock salt has been advised, which actually for the liquefying of the kapha. In general honey heated or given to a patient suffering from hot ailments is harmful. But in the emetic recipes, honey taken along with hot water is thrown out before digestion along with vomited material. In addition, honey helps in the elimination of morbid material. So it is added to the emetic recipes (Ca.Ka.1/15).

The dose and dosage forms are of great relevance to obtain the desired effect are also narrated. Therefore, a number of preparations in different dosage forms with the decoction of other effective drugs, superannuated fatty layer of medicated curd preparation, butter formed from the milk boiled with Madanaphala seeds and processed with the paste and the decoction of Madanaphala, pollen like powder of Madanaphala seeds processed in decoction of Madanaphala, extract of Madanaphala seeds according to that of bhallataka, dried powder of seeds, linctus prepared of Madanaphala seeds with the decoction of the other drugs etc. In all such 133 formulations are described by the ancient great sages with their vast experiences in this chapter on pharmaceuticals of Madanaphala Effect of these drugs vary, depending upon their habitat, collection a storage and on patients, deha (physique), doshas, prakriti (constitution), vaya (age), bala (strength), agni (power of digestion and metabolism), bhakti (liking of particular type of recipe), satmya (adaptability). Therefore, the recipes based on their permutations and combination are innumerable and it is not possible to describe them all so only 133 of these recipes which are neither too brief nor too elaborate is described in this chapters. On the basis of this description the intelligent physician can formulate many other recipes to suit the exact requirement of his patient (Ca.Ka.1/16-30).

Vidhi Vimarsha

• Ushna-Tikshna-Sukshma-Vyavayi and vikasi are the common properties of the Vamanakarma dravya. According to Sushruta, the ushna property has pachana karma (S.Su.46/515).Chakrapani (the commentator on Charaka Samhita) states that ushna means ushna veeryam. This has been cleared in AshtÁnga Sangraha by Vagabhat and the function are like dahana and pachana and having ability to decrease vata and kapha dosha (A.S.Su.17/15). Sushruta defines that tikshna as the property produces daha, paka and srava (S.Su.46/518).According to Charaka, Tikshna guna is vichchindana (Ca.Ka.1/5). Chakrapani clarified the word as vichchindayati, means breaking down the complex morbid matter into simple molecules. The Sukshma guna reaches to minute srotasa and remove the morbid matter to bring it to reach the amashaya according to Dalhana (S.Ci..33/33). The Vyavayi drugs, when administered initiate the action immediately and thereafter bio-transformation takes place. Sushruta has clarified that Vikasi drugs causes laxity in dhatubandhana (S.Su. 46/523).Due to above mentioned properties Vamana drugs are beneficial for therapeutic emesis.

• Vamana (emesis) is one of the five physio-therapeutic procedures to eliminate impurities through gastro-oral route emerged due to aggravated kapha in human body. It is to be noted for vitiation of each dosha viz. kapha, pitta and vata, three therapeutic procedures vamana, virechana and basti are recommended respectively.

• Vamana is the foremost therapeutic procedure among Panchakarma (five therapeutic procedures). If virechanakarma is performed first than the vamana, there are all possibilities of vitiation of the kapha. This vitiated kapha having guru-snigdha guna with impurities descends down to grahani (the seat of agni) and with the result of that pravahika is developed(S.Ci.33/19).

• Its importance has been realized in rasayana and vajikarana therapy; therefore, it is mandatory to do vamanakarma before aforesaid therapies for excellent results. Thus, it is obvious that Panchakarma has dual benefits i.e., health preventive and disease curative.

• Virechana, vireka, chhardi, chardana, vami, ullekhana, lekhana, shodhana and sansodhana are the various synonyms of vamana as found in Ayurvedic classics.

• Vamanakarma, causes cleanliness of the stomach, which enhances kayagni (body fire), diseases get pacified, normalcy is maintained, sense organ, intellect, and complexion are improved, strength, nourishment, progeny and potency are produced, the old age does not his hold easily and the person lives long from disorders. Therefore, one should use the evacuation therapy (Ca.Su.16/17-19).

• Evacuated doshas never reoccur, if they are subdued with evacuation therapy. Vamana karma is considered the best line of therapeutic procedure for all the diseases having kaphaja origin (Ca.Su. 33/19).

• Sharngadhara in Sharngadhara Samhita stated that apakva pitta and kapha are forcefully expelled out through the upward route. Thus vamana is the best for vitiated kapha and apakva pitta (Sa.Pu.8/7).

• Phytochemistry:

The drug Madanaphala is botanically identified as Catunaregum spinosa (Thunb.) Randia Spinosa Poir. Syn.R.DumatrumLam. The phytochemical studies on the fruits of R. spinosa revealed presence of mixture of saponins viz. randia acid or acid saponin has been isolated from the pulp; the two saponins occur in the fruit at all stages of ripening. The fruits of R. spinosa contain a toxic saponin of oleanolic acid. They also contain leucocyanidin and mannitol. The activity of the drug is attributed to the presence of saponins which occur to the extent of 2-3 % in fresh fruits and about 10% in dried whole fruit. The saponins are concentrated mostly in the pulp. A mixture of two saponins, viz. randialic or neutral saponin (m.p. 289-2900C decomp.)and randialic acid or acid saponin (m.p. 2600 C decomp.) has been isolated from the pulp.On complete hydrolysis both the saponins yield Oleanolic acid as Sapogenin. Ursosaponin, isolated from the ethanolic extract of the dried whole fruit, gave ursolic acid and glucose. Randianin, isolated from the fruit, gave a haemolytic triterpenoid saponin.

• The seeds are reported to be free from saponins. They contain fat (1.5 %), protein (14.2 %), mucilage, resin, organic acid (1.4 %) and a minute quantity of an unidentified alkaloid. The bark contains scopoletin, d-mannitol and a mixture of saponins. The saponins on hydrolysis yield glucose, xylose, rhamnose, and two triterpenic acid sapogenins designated as randialic acid.One is [19 (α)-hydroxyursolic acid, C30H48O4; methyl ester, m.p. 200-2020] and another is randialic acid (19-dehydroursolic acid, C30H48O3; m.p. 256-2570). The roots contain scopoletin and d-mannitol (Navneet et al. 2010).

Recent researches on action of herbs

• Vamana is believed to be controlled by two distinct brain centers - the vomiting center(tractus soitorius and the Chemoreceptor Trigger Zone both located in the Medulla Oblongata. The CTZ is close to the area postrema on the floor of the fourth ventricle and is outside of the blood brain barrier and communicates with the vomiting centre to initiate vamana. The CTZ being outside the blood-brain barrier, and can therefore be stimulated by blood-borne drugs that can stimulate vomiting, or inhibit it.
• Vamana stimuli act at several anatomic sites.
• Vamana provoked by noxious smells originates in the cerebral cortex (through chemoreceptors in nasal mucosa - Ghreya Vamana).
• Cranial nerves mediate vamana after gag reflex activation (Anguli, Kamala nala pravesha).
• Gastric reflex : ( Āmāśaya utkleśya bhāva)
  • Strech reflex - Ākaṇṭhapāna
  • Mucosal irritants - Uṣṇa, Tīkṣṇa etc. Guṇas

A comparative clinical study on standardization of Vamana Vidhi by classical and traditional methods

Ranjip Kumar Dass, Nilesh N. Bhatt, Anup B. Thakar, and Vagish Dutt Shukla

Total 50 patients and healthy volunteers were selected irrespective of gender, religion, occupation, etc., from O.P.D. and I.P.D. of Panchakarma Department of Institute for Post Graduate Teaching and Research in Ayurveda, Jamnagar. The patients as well as healthy volunteers were randomly divided into following two groups:

1. Group A (classical group): Twenty-two individuals of this group had performed Vamana by the classical methods according to Charaka and Sushruta Samhita.[3,4]
   1. Out of these individuals, five were healthy volunteers, i.e., Swastha having Kapha Prakopa Lakshanas and taking Vamana for the purpose of Swasthya Rakshana.
   2. Seventeen patients having various disorders but a common criterion for the selection, i.e., Vamanarha or Vamya (fit for vomiting) were selected for Vamana in “Diseased Group.”

• Vidhi: Madanphala Pippali was taken in Antarnakha Musti (making fist) Pramana by the patient's own hand. It was then added in Yashtimadhu Kwath and kept for one night (previous night of Vamana Karma). In the morning time, it was stirred properly and filtered. Then it was given to the patient in lukewarm state mixing with honey and Saindhav Lavana (rock salt) upto Pittanta Vamana (till bile comes). Before that in early morning, Ghritayukta Yavagu was given to the patient after Abhyanga (massage) and Swedana (fomentation).

1. Group B (traditional group): Twenty two individuals of this group had performed Vamana by traditional methods followed in the Panchakarma Hospital of I.P.G.T. and R.A.
   1. Out of these individuals, 10 were healthy volunteers, i.e., “Swastha” having Kapha Prakopa Lakshanas and taking the Vamana for the purpose of “Swasthya Rakshana.”
   2. Twelve patients having various disorders but a common criterion for the selection, i.e., “Vamanarha” or “Vamya” were selected for Vamana in “Diseased Group.”

• Vidhi: In the morning time at first after Abhyanga and Swedana, milk or Ikshu Rasa was given to the patient upto Aakanthapana (fullness upto throat). Then Madanaphala Pippali Churna, Vacha and Saindhava Lavana were taken in a ratio of 4:2:1 part, respectively and a paste was made with honey. It was then given to the patient directly or indirectly by mixing with any liquid media like milk or Ikshu Rasa or Yashtimadhu Phanta. Afterwards, Yashtimadhu Phanta made freshly in the morning was given up to Pittanta Vamana.

Drug and dosage

• Purva Karma:

1. Snehapana by Shuddha Ghrita (According to Koshtha, Agni Bala, etc., of patient).
2. Sarvanga Abhyanga by Bala Taila
3. Sarvanga Swedana by Bashpa Sweda
4. Ghrita-Yukta Yavagupana= 200-400 g approximately according to Koshtha, etc.

• Pradhana Karma:

1. Yashtimadhu Kwath = 3-5 l approximately
2. Madanphala Pippali = Antarnakha Musti Pramana according to patient's own hand.
3. Honey = Quantity Sufficient (50-100 ml approximately)
4. Saindhav Lavana = Q.S. (20-30 g approximately).

• Pashchata Karma: Samsarjana Krama was according to the Shuddhi after Vamana Karma.

For the traditional group

• Purva Karma:

1. Snehapana by Shuddha Ghrita (according to Koshtha, Agni Bala, etc., of patient).
2. Sarvanga Abhyanga by Bala Taila
3. Sarvanga Swedana by Bashpa Sweda (steam bath).

• Pradhana Karma:

1. Milk or Ikshu Rasa = 1.5-2 l approximately
2. Paste of Madanaphala Pippali Churna= 8 g, Vacha = 4 g, Saindhava Lavana = 2 g and Honey = Q.S. (20-30 ml approx.)
3. Yashtimadhu Phanta= 3-4 l approximately.

• Pashchata Karma: Samsarjana Krama was according to the Shuddhi after Vamana Karma.[

Discussion and conclusion

From the above study it was observed that average no. of Vega and Upavega (i.e., 7.41 and 12.41) were found in by the classical method as compared to traditional methods (i.e., 6.91 and 8.77). Because Vega had come out easily from deeper part of the stomach with viscous matter in group A than the group B as the particles of Madanaphala Pippali were present in Yashtimadhu Kashaya (decoction) till end, for which individual had felt more exertions earlier but got more relief later on. The average quantity of every Vega in traditional method was measured more as compared to classical method, as more Kshudra or Madhyama and Khandita Vega had come in this method may be due to less intake of Vamana Kashaya (probably due to more thickened solution). Maximum percentage (i.e., 68.2%) of Pravara Shuddhi was observed in group A as compared to group B (i.e., 59.1), whereas more percentage of Madhyama and Avara Shuddhi were seen in group B most probably due to earlier expulsion of Vamana Yoga with vomitus. As MSI of group B (i.e., 2.86) was lesser than group A (i.e., 4.91) more drug output (more Dosha Shuddhi) were there in group B as compared to group A. Furthermore, more mucous (i.e., kapha like viscous matter) were expelled in group A than group B, whereas Pitta Darshana was seen easily with a lesser time in group B as compared to group A. The average time taken to complete the Vamana (vomiting) by the classical method (58.36 min) was lesser than the time taken for traditional method (64.91 min), may be due to quick expulsion of vitiated matter, as Madanaphala Pippali was properly diluted in the Vamana Kasaya or may be due to quick appearance of Antiki Lakshanas, which leads the procedure to an end point. Clinically more percentage of individuals had marked improvement in group A, whereas more percentage of individuals got moderate improvement in group B, most probably because of more Shuddhi obtained by the classical method than the traditional. As we know that Vamana Karma is a stressful work, which is done in early morning (i.e., Kaphaja Kala). Likewise, according to modern science the plasma cortisol level also rises in early hours of morning and in any stressful stimuli. So Plasma Cortisol level was tested just before and after Vamana Karma, where a rise in Cortisol level was observed in classical methods. By physical analysis of vomited material, acidic pH was found in earlier stage and alkaline pH was seen in last stage (i.e., when Accha Pitta comes). More value of Specific gravity was found in vomitus of classical method as compared to the vomitus of traditional method. By biochemical quantitative analysis of vomitus (i.e., Hexosamine Test); mucopolysaccharide content of vomitus was found more in group A (669.64 μg/ml) in comparison to group B (480.68 μg/ml), as more viscous matter was expelled during Vamana.

Conclusion

From the present clinical study, it can be concluded that the method mentioned in the classics are very much beneficial from every point of view in comparison to the method which has been used traditionally as it is very easy, safe, less time-consuming, and clinically as well as statistically the most effective method. Madanaphala Pippali, which was taken in Antarnakha Musti Pramana (By patient's own hand) in case of the classical method measured about average 13.51 g, which should be mixed in 4:l of Yastimadhu decoction for proper dilution. So this proportion can be taken as a standard ratio for Vamana Karma. In concern to Vaigiki Shuddhi, it indicates that more no. of Vega and Upavega come by the classical method as compared to the traditional methods. Measurements of drug inputs and drug outputs (i.e., vomitus) are necessary as Maniki Shuddhi may guide towards proper judgment regarding purification and provide some clues regarding the results obtained. By physical analysis of vomited material, “pH” of the vomitus can be used as an indicator to guide oneself towards “end point” (as Antiki Shuddhi). As acidic pH was found in earlier stage and alkaline pH was seen in last stage (i.e., when Achcha Pitta comes), it may help to cease the Vamana at particular point. According to Laingiki Shuddhi, more Pravara Shuddhi is achieved in Vamana by the classical methods in comparison to traditional methods. However, all the Shuddhi have equal role in assessing the proportion of purification and predicting any type of result from it. Regarding the duration of Vamana, it can be said that the time taken to complete the Vamana by the classical method is lesser than the time taken for traditional method. Significant more reduction in FBS and lipid profile test (S. Cholesterol, HDL and S. Triglyceride level) by the classical method (despite of the consumption of a huge amount of Ghee during Snehapana)indicates that classical Vamana improves the internal homeostasis more easily in comparison to traditional method. By comparing the improvements in the symptoms obtained after Vamana with the purification done earlier, it can be said that more expulsion of vitiated matter might be there in the classical method in comparison to

Joshi1 It can be summarized that both Vamanaa and Virechana cause marked reduction in FBS and PPBS levels. In early course of disease Samshodhana must be the choice of treatment; as at this stage, patient has dominance of Kapha and Pitta. It seems that Vamana by reducing Kapha and Meda helps to minimize insulin resistance, whereas Virechana by lowering down the hepatic glucose production helps to control blood sugar. As Prameha is an Aanushangivyadhi, neither Vamanaa nor Virechana alone acts as the complete treatment for it. To get definite output regarding specific role of Vamanaa and Virechana on FBS and PPBS, further study is necessary. The present study was carried on a small sample and for a limited time. As it showed encouraging results, further research must be done at a higher level with a large sample with longer duration so that a definite theory can be promulgated.
