PHYSICO-CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF DRAKSHASAVA PREPARED USING TWO DIFFERENT SANDHANA DRAVYA IN TWO DIFFERENT CONTAINERS

Introduction: Drakshasava is a well-known Ayurvedic formulation used as general health tonic, carminative, and blood purifier, commonly used to treat digestive disorders, and cardiac issues. In the present study Drakshasava was prepared using two different Sandhana Dravya Dhataki-pushpa and yeast. Two different containers were used in the fermentation process. Materials and Methods: Drakshasava was prepared pharmaceutically, ingredients being Draksha, Dhataki, Jati, Lavanga, Kakkola, Lavaliphala, Swetha Chandana, Twak, Ela, Patra and Pippali. Observation and result: Drakshasava with Dhataki-pushpa is dark brown colour and Drakshasava with yeast is lemon colour. Various parameters were analysed. Discussion: In an experimental study comparing the fermentation processes of two distinct Sandhan Dravya (fermenting drugs) like Dhataki-pushpa (Woodfordia fruticosa kurz) and yeast. And also comparing two types of containers like earthen vessels and plastic containers. Were analysed and discussed. Conclusion: This study aims to investigate the preparation of Drakshasava using two different Sandhan Dravya (fermenting drugs) with two different vessels, specifically yeast and Dhataki-pushpa (Woodfordia fruticosa kurz), their impact on the physicochemical properties of the final product. Through the physicochemical analysis, identified the little variances in the final products.
