As per Vangsen Samhita, DrakshadiGhrita has been described as Balmansa-vriddhikar, indicating that it increases body mass and strength. Aim: To examine the nutritional contents of DrakshadiGhrita and evaluate its therapeutic potential for the treatment of Karshya. Material and Method: Draksha, Go-ghrita, Go-dugdha, Yastimadhu, Mishri, and Pippali are all constituents of Drakshadighrita. The herbs were collected, identified and authenticated. Result: The nutraceutical worth of DrakshadiGhrita test results was achieved through laboratory analysis and proved to contain a lot of energy and fat. Conclusion: DrakshadiGhrita is a good source of energy because it is rich in fat and is suitable for filling energy deficits in Karshya. Nutritional evaluation of such formulations is essential to comprehend their utility in the management of undernutrition from the perspective of both Ayurveda and contemporary nutrition.

Abstract

India has initiated numerous national schemes to eliminate undernutrition. The schemes have helped in the reduction of malnutrition, but undernutrition has not been eliminated completely. Karshya is a condition of low weight for age. We can relate Karshya to undernutrition. Ayurveda addresses Karshya in a holistic manner, focusing on the rejuvenation of digestive fire, body tissue building as well as overall enhanced vitality. As per Vangsen Samhita, DrakshadiGhrita has been described as Balmansa-vriddhikar, indicating that it increases body mass and strength. Aim: To examine the nutritional contents of DrakshadiGhrita and evaluate its therapeutic potential for the treatment of Karshya. Material and Method: Draksha, Go-ghrita, Go-dugdha, Yastimadhu, Mishri, and Pippali are all constituents of Drakshadighrita. The herbs were collected, identified and authenticated. Result: The nutraceutical worth of DrakshadiGhrita test results was achieved through laboratory analysis and proved to contain a lot of energy and fat. Conclusion: DrakshadiGhrita is a good source of energy because it is rich in fat and is suitable for filling energy deficits in Karshya. Nutritional evaluation of such formulations is essential to comprehend their utility in the management of undernutrition from the perspective of both Ayurveda and contemporary nutrition. Ghrita enhances the bioavailability of phytochemicals, leading to enhanced absorption and efficacy, combining traditional insight with contemporary nutritional wisdom.
