Kalsariyajeshnakum@gmail.com<p><strong><em>Introduction: </em></strong><em>Kokilaksha (Asteracantha longifolia Nees.) is an annual herb belonging to the acanthaceae family. In classics, Kokilaksha Kwatha (Decoction) is stated in the treatment of Nidranasha (Insomnia), Vatarakta (Gout), Shoola (Pain) and many more. Panchavidha Kashaya Kalpana (five basic preparation) are primary potent preparations of Ayurved pharmaceutics from which several additional preparations are developed as per need of time like Vati (Pills), Avaleha (Lincus), Ghana (Solidified aqueous extract), Kshara (Alkali) and many more. An effort has been undertaken in the current study to prepare Kokilaksha Ghana from Kokilaksha Kwatha. There has been not any research work found on Kokilaksha Ghana. <strong>Aim: </strong>The aim of present study is to standardize the Kokilaksha Ghana pharmaceutically and assaying the preliminary analytical parameters. <strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>Three batches of Kokilaksha Ghana were prepared. Observation and finding of pharmaceutical study along with its preliminary assay were systematically recorded. Organoleptic properties as well as physicochemical parameters such as pH, specific gravity, total solid content, water soluble and alcohol soluble extractives, loss on drying, total ash, acid insoluble ash, and total solid content were examined in the raw material, in-process material and final product. Qualitative Phytochemical Parameters of raw material and finished product were carried out. <strong>Results: </strong>Average yield of Kokilaksha Ghana was 14.1% in contexts to dried material. The average 8.88% Loss On Drying, 12.96% Total Ash, 0.91% Acid Insoluble Ash, 43.60% Water Soluble Extractive, 10.26 Alcohol Soluble Extractive and pH of 5.89. In qualitative phytochemical parameters alkaloids, glycoside, tannin, steroid, saponin and carbohydrate were found. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: The adopted procedure, pharmaceutical outcomes and data obtained from the preliminary analysis of the present study may be considered as standard for future researches.</em></p>2024-03-18T04:14:50+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Research & Reviews: Journal of Herbal Sciencehttps://sciencejournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RRJoHS/article/view/3817Therapeutic Medicinal Plants: Traditional uses of the Himalayan Cherry Prinsepia utilis used by Traditional Healers of the North Western Himalayan Region2024-03-21T06:32:43+00:00Poonam Katochshikhasharma003@gmail.comAbhishek .shikhasharma003@gmail.comRitika Vermashikhasharma003@gmail.comNitesh Kumarshikhasharma003@gmail.comPunit Kumarshikhasharma003@gmail.comKalpana Thakurshikhasharma003@gmail.comMamta Devishikhasharma003@gmail.comDiksha Kaundalshikhasharma003@gmail.comShikha Devishikhasharma003@gmail.com<p><em>The medicinal plants of the northwestern Himalayas are noted for their unparalleled biodiversity and important secondary metabolites that are peculiar to this dynamic geoclimatic zone. The scientific documentation of the richness, distribution, and conventional applications of medicinal flora in this Mountainous region can be crucial in the conservation and sustainable use of these valuable plant resources. These medicinal plants have been used for their therapeutic properties since ancient times. The Himalayan people have a plethora of traditional knowledge that can be used to treat a range of ailments. In accordance to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 80% of the population in underdeveloped nations relies on traditional medicines, most of which are derived from plants, for health care. In India, traditional health practices and formulations are used by around 70% of the rural population and the recognition of these effective plant-based formulations is rising among the general population. Traditional Indian medicinal practices such as Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani have a long history of efficacy; modern research has also recognized the relevance of such medicine. Traditional medicinal plant knowledge and traditional health practices are also important sources of revenue for poor populations. Plant-derived bioactive compounds, often known as phytocompounds, and their corresponding chemical analogs have produced a plethora of clinically relevant medications for the management of both chronic and acute illnesses. Even Nevertheless, research into additional therapeutic compounds derived from medicinal plants is ongoing. This chapter provides an insight into some of the major therapeutic medicinal plants of the North Western Himalayan region, with particular emphasis on the traditional.</em><em></em></p>2024-01-16T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Research & Reviews: Journal of Herbal Sciencehttps://sciencejournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RRJoHS/article/view/3747Assessing the Effects of Purification Processes on the Quality Control Metrics of Bhallataka: A Review2023-11-17T05:33:41+00:00Devanshi Shirvidevanshipatel997@gmail.comBharti Umretiadevanshipatel997@gmail.com<p dir="ltr"><span>Introduction:</span><span> Bhallataka (Semecarpus anacardium Linn.) is mentioned under the Upavisha group in many Ayurvedic classics and is also listed in as a Scheduled E1 drug in the Drugs and Cosmetics Acts, 1940.

Treatment in such conditions is mentioned as Panchkarma (~detoxification procedure) . The main goal in such type of condition is to remove avarana (overlapping) so that Vayu (air) returns to normal functioning. Five detoxification procedures were also reported to be effective against a broad spectrum of viruses, including human immunodeficiency virus, herpes viruses, etc. Ayurvedic detoxification procedures can add an additive effect in to the managing COVID-19 through multiple modules, like as prophylactic and, curative treatment. Implementation of suggested influence or mode of action probably come up with empirical discernment escalating the Ayurveda other than prophylactic medical management and system considering alike ailments. </span></p><div><span><br /></span></div>2023-10-16T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Research & Reviews: Journal of Herbal Sciencehttps://sciencejournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RRJoHS/article/view/3682A Conceptual Review of Pottali Kalpana with Special Reference to Hemgarbha Pottali Rasa2023-11-17T05:33:41+00:00Niraj D.
