Image
PHARMACODYNAMICS of VAMANA Panchkarma therapy occupies an important place in achieving the twin objectives of Ayurveda.Out of five karmas the first one is Vamana karma or biopurafocatory therapeutic emesis . Expulsion of aggrevated or vitiated doshas through mouth is termed as Vamana. During this modern era it is necessary to re-evaluate the mode of action of Vaman karma. Emetic drugs trigger vomitting by either mechanical, biochemical or neurological stimulation of vomitting center located in medulla oblongata and CTZ and NTS. Vaamak dravyas act due to their  ushna , teekshna , vyavayi , vikasi ,and agnivaayu panchbhautikatva gunas ,    anupravana bhavaa .

VAMAN(Therapeutic emesis)-VIRECHAN(Therapeutic purgation)

Image
CONCEPT OF VAMAN &VIRECHAN Ayurved classically considers two asayas in connection with GIT- amasaya and pakvasaya.Amasaya attracts everything to its in doors,into its lumen - food and it's secretions, thereafter absorbs the nutrients .It is the classics through it helps to explain doshas,agni. Its secretions are both acidic a(a stomach) and alkaline ( duodenum).Pakvasaya on the contrary is not not concerned with digestion and is involved in excrtion - expulsion. So,while amasaya is concerned with absorption ( saman vayu), Pakvasaya is concerned with expulsion ( apan vayu). The natural process of emesis is not a routine a activity. They occur because of the need of body to remove toxins or micro- orginsms  or because of GIT irritation.Emetics or purgatives used therapeuticly are hence to be toxic or GIT irritants ,but a lesser amount than which can effect toxicity or untoward effects in the body.Neverthless the body tries to remove them and while doing this, vomitting or...

PHARMACODYNAMICS of SNEHAN( Unction)

Pharmacodynamics of SNEHAN  with its practical aspects The physiochemical properties of drug in topical dosage form affect that drug's transdermal delivery ( percutaneous absorption) and topical bioavailability .The molecules of the formation,after penetrating through the stratum corneum and hence into the viable epidermis and dermis ,produces it's characteristics pharmacological response  through receptores even before the blood  or lymph circulations remove it.Though the horny layer is very impermeable to chemicals contributing the rate limiting step in the transdermal absorption because of its high effusional resistance,providing a small fractional area of 0.1%only add permeable appandageal shunt route ,it is not an efficient heat insulator- the penetration rate of material through human skin can change the tenfold for a large temperature variation,as the diffusion coefficient varies according to temperature changes.Besides the appandageal shunt rout,the drug molecu...
