INTRODUCTION

Ayurvedic system of medicine is as
old as the Vedic age. Now–a–days people
give preference to the Ayurvedic
medicines as the allopathic medicines
are costlier and have side effects.
Ayurvedic medicines are based on
plants, animals extract and minerals
both in single ingredient drugs and
compound formulations, however,
Ayurveda does not rule out any
substances from being used as a
potential source of medicine.

Ayurvedic compound formulations
are mainly divided into two groups
viz. (1) Kasthausadhi (predominantly
plant drugs) and (2). Rasausadhi
(predominantly metals and minerals).

There are several categories of
Kasthausadhi formulations such as
Asavaristra, Avleha, Grafa Churena, Taila
etc. and of Rasausadhis such as Bhasma,
Pisti, Lauha, Kapibadkva, Rasayana etc.
The Ayurvedic drugs are derived from
vegetable sources from the various parts
of the plant like root, leaf, flower, fruit
extrude or plant as a whole.

There are about 21 varieties of
compound formulations in which some
of the single drugs of animal origin (52
Nos). Mineral origin (55 Nos.) and plant
origin (351 Nos.) are used. There details
of the single drugs and other particulars
can be had from the Ayurvedic
formulary of India, published by Govt.
of India, Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare.

MARKET POTENTIAL

There is more recognition for non-
allopathic system of medicines in the
country now than the past few decades.
The concept of alternative system of
treatment notably herbal and Ayurvedic
medicines therapy is gaining ground and
attracting attention worldwide. There is
more and more scientific research being
conducted in our country for treatment
of various diseases by Ayurvedic and
herbal therapy. A large number of
diseases have Ayurvedic treatment
much superior to the other system of
medicines and this has been recognized
world over.

Thus Ayurvedic medicines/drugs are
becoming popular day-by-day and
demand for its usage is increasing not
only in the country but also worldwide
the inherent quality of Ayurvedic
treatment of having negligible side/after
effects, has made great potential for its
production. A large number of medicinal
plants, herbs, shrubs etc. are available
in our country in the hilly/forest regions.
In order to boost the production of
Ayurvedic/herbal drugs, Govt. of India
has also set up a Board namely Indian
system of Medicine and Homeoepathy
to encourage production of Ayurvedic
medicines specially in the regions where
basic raw materials are available in
plenty. Thus there is a great potential
for Ayurvedic medicines not only in the
country but for export purpose also.

Production Capacity

10. Goggulu

Ayurvedic medicines prepared by the
exudates, and obtained from the plant
commiphara mukul, are known as
Goggulu. There are five different varieties
of Goggulu in Ayurvedic Shastra but
usually two varieties, mahiskasa and
kanaka are preferred for medicinal
preparation.

Exudates in small pieces are taken in
a piece of cloth and boiled in gomutara
or Dugdha or Triphala kasayua until the
exudates pass into the fluid through the
cloth to the maximum. The fluid after
filtering is boiled till it forms a mass. After
drying, the mass is formed into a paste by
adding ghee till it becomes waxy.

Quality Control and Standards

At present there is no pharmacopial
standard on each of the active
ingredients of Ayurvedic medicine like
allopathic medicine. For standardization
and quality control of Ayurvedic drugs,
various steps can be followed like
physical description, physical tests,
pharmacoginised techniques etc, to
ascertain the species of plant and study
their pharmacoginostic character for the
purpose of identification detection and
analyzing the crude drug.

Generally quality of Ayurvedic products
is fully dependent on the quality of raw
materials and process of manufacture.
The quality control process of some
Ayurvedic formulations can be contained
from ‘Pharmacopica Laboratory of India
Medicine, near ALTC, Ghaziabad (U.P)’.
The products are to be manufactured
as per Indian system of medicines of
Ministry of Health.
