EFFICACY OF SNUHI SIDDHA TRIPHALA IN VICHARCHIKA

Many drugs are prescribed for 'Shodhana' in ancient medical science of india, (Ayurveda) and amongst them several drugs are in running practice of Vaidyas since long. Madanphala, Vacha, Nimba, Devadali are prescribed for Vaman Trivrut, Jayapala, Argvadha, Haritaki, Triphala, Aswakanchuki, ichhabhedi, Naracha Rasa, are prescribed for Virechana which are commonly in practice of Vaidyas. During pilot study for Vamana Virechana appropriate Shodhana was not observed with the use of above stated drugs. Hinayoga of the above Karmas are observed with the use of some drugs and side effects like burning in throat, chest or stomach are observed with the use of the same drugs and that has become troublesome to the patients to use. After considerable thinking and discussion Snuhi-Kshira and Triphala were tried. The bulk of fresh Snuhikshira is collected and the drug was prepared for our trial.
