RASAUSHADHIYUKTA SNEHA KALPANAS, DESCRIBED IN STREEROGA AND PRASUTITANTRA

Sneha Kalpana is one of the important Aushadhi Kalpana described in the prevention and cure of various disorders mentioned in Streeroga and Prasutitantra. Dushita Vatadosha, along with Pitta and Kapha dosha, is involved in the Samprapti of various disorders described in Streeroga. Aushadhi used in such disorders must have quick action with a small quantity. They should have palatability and a better shelf life. Rasaushadhis are very potent, effective in small quantities, very quick-acting and provide quick results. Sneha Kalpanas is Shreshtha in Shamana of Tridosha, especially Vatadosha and can incorporate the properties of other added Dravyas. The combination of Rasaushadhi with Sneha Kalpana can be the perfect choice for treating Disorders in Streeroga and Prasuti Tantra. Rasaushadhi added will help for quick action and Sneha will compensate for the Tikshana Guna of Rasaushadhis. Our Acharyas have mentioned a few of such formulations. All of them are in a very scattered form. Through this paper, one can get a compilation of some such combinations. In clinical practice, some Vaidyas avoid the use of Rasaushadhis in cases of Streeroga and Prasutitantra. Hope this paper will promote and encourage them to use such formulations and to carry out further clinical studies.
