Absorption mechanism of COLON with respect to Basti( therapeutic enema)

Mechanism of colon with respect to Basti In reference to pharmacodynamics of Basti i.e.Therapeutic Enema which is one of the prime procedures of panchkarmas; where enema of decoction ( called as Neerooha basti or Asthapan basti) and enema of medicated oil( called as Anuvasan basti)   is administered.In this procedure whenever basti dravyas administer through anal canal,it performs massive changes (which are temporarily can be seen ) in colon on the basis of its absorption, glandular secretions  which are occur due to irritation of basti dravya. Which seems like irrigation of water and nutrients to a plant from roots to the branches and leaves. So here we will discuss about what are the basic components which take important part in absorption of various nutrients in various parts of colon. Absorption : All the mechanical and chemical phases of digestion from.mouth to colon the food changing into forms that can pass through the absorptive epithelial cells lining ...

PHARMACODYNAMICS of Basti( Therapeutic Enema)

Image
PHARMACODYNAMICS of BASTI Among all the panchkarmas Basti is considered as the supreme therapeutic modality. The process in which the medicated oil or decoction is administered into pakwasaya or garbhasaya or mutrasaya with help of bastiyantra. " vastina diyate iti basti". " Tasmath Chikisardhamiti of bruvanti sarvam chikitsamapi vasti meke". " Vayasthapana dwa asthapanam" Karmukatva of aasthapana basti: According to sushrutacharya,basti dravya produces it's effect immediately by the agency of apanavata. Properly administered basti dravya remaining in the Pakvasaya due to its veerya / potency drawn all the doshas  accumulated  at various parts of the body which are far away from the pakwasaya and expels them,just as sun remaining in sky ,draws the sap from the earth,which is million of miles away from the sun. Pharmacodynamics: Elimination of morbid factors  by a) osmosis b) sclerosing effect c) mechanical action effect of ...

PHARMACODYNAMICS OF VIRECHANA( Therapeutic purgation)

Image
Pharmacodynamics of VIRECHAN The virya of drugs initially reach the heat band spread all over the body . Due to sukshma and vyavayi property they reach macro and micro channels. By ushna and tikshna gunas they break and liquified the complexes of doshas. By its vikasi gunas it detached the malas from dhatu ,drava Rupa mala will reach to Pakvasaya,due to  adhobhagahar property. Mucosa and having predominance of aap,prithvi mahabhut doshas are thrown inthe downward directions and expel through anus. Probable pharmacodynamics in modern view: VIRECHANA  dravyas produces bowel evacuation by neural control and functional movements. 1.As pitta prakopak drugs act on gall bladder  that leads to drain bile into duodenum and by that bile salts enhance peristalsis and causes laxation. 2. As purishjanak ( which forms feaces) natural polysaccharides and cellulose derivatives increases the content of bowels, which softens the faeces facilities colonic transit. 3....

PHARMACODYNAMICS of VAMAN( Therapeutic emesis)

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 . Yet  urdhva  b hagahara prabhavas is said to be the cause for vomitting. The central regulation of vamana karma Using vamak and vamanopag dravya is interpreted here for example ' Ghrana yoga ' of any vamaka dravya Presumably act by stimulating vomitting center.Few vamaka dravy...

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 SWEDAN( sudation)

Image
 PHARMACODYNAMICS of SWEDAN It induces thermal change in the body.This event is a thermal discomfort,a thermal eustress.This heat stress precipitates a decreases in cardiac output which sends massages to medullary Cerebro  vascular control center which in turn effect muscle and skin vasoconstriction.This increases in the internal circulation by which the cardiac output is optimized.Thermal comfort rests primarily upon the following six factors- air velocity,air humidity,mean rediant heat, metabolism, insulation and air temperature.These thermal comfort factors are individually or severely manipulated Swedan to effect theo thermal eustress .The conduction of heat depends upon the calorific value of the material used. FOMANTATION and SUDATION: Are anscient methods of ward off pain or atleast to lessen the suffering due to pain.Application of heat by various methods at a diseased site or through the entire body such that it causes perspiration is called sweda vidhi,in A...

PHARMACODYNAMICS of SNEHAN( Unction)

Image
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...

Technical aspects of PANCHKARMA asper modern medicine

Image
Technical aspects of PANCHKARMA Snehan -Swedan:Topical procedures of snehan - swedan( unction& sudation) such as churna pinda sweda,patrapotali sweda,shastic pinda sweda etc.)that are basically shamana( palliative) by nature,are frequently reffered as Panchkarma,but these comes under Bahiparimarjan therapies,so should be reffered as palliative topical therapy. The main Purpose of unction and sudation before purification is the utklesh( secretions/ exudates) through the mucosa of the respective cavity;blended through the corresponding doshas( vata,pitta or kapha) are later subjected to the shodhan( bio- cleansing).While utklesh is achieved by undigested fat given as intense internal therapeutic unction ( snehapaan) followed by sudation ( sweda); the palliative external unction and sudation procedures may also affect minor degrees of utklesh.This is removed by judicial devotions( gandharvahastyadi)  or by mild purification. Snehan- Swedan followed by...
