Role of Rasaushadhies in Balancing Doshas w.s.r. to Muscular Disorders
Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
There are different types of muscular disorders in human body. Here is an attempt to find out the improvement in these muscular deficiencies, which causes deformities, with special reference to Rasa Shastra (Pharmaceutics). Rasa Shastra is the branch of science which deals with Alchemy. Its superiority among others is its fast acting tendency, lower dose, palatability, long shelf- life, quicker metabolism, rog (disease) conversion from asadhyata (untreatable) to sadhyata (treatable) stage etc. There are several kashthaushadhi dravyas(plant based medicinal parts) used to nourish doshas (Air, Fire, Water contents) but Rasa Dravyas (other than plant based medicinal parts like metallic, mineral, gems etc.) are more powerful as compared to them. But before consuming Rasaushadhies (mercurial preparations) proper purification (shodhna) of them is utmost important to vanish all the malas (impurities) and doshas (toxicity) to devoid of their toxic and unwanted affects. In case of muscular disorders like atony, in which lack of normal elasticity exists, Rasa Dravyas can help to regain and retain muscular elasticity in different ways. Atrophy is another condition of wasting of tissues due to Vata Vikriti (Air imbalance) which can be controlled. Cramp is an involuntary contraction of skeletal muscles owing to salt,s imbalance can be replenished by Vata (Air) and Kapha (Water) Nash(vanish via balancing them) and fibrositis can be balanced by Vata Nash. Fatigue is Pitta (Fire) related disorder. Bacteriae and other parasites can be killed by using very powerful antiseptics of Rasa Shastra. Spinal cord destruction can leads to limb weakness due to Vata Dosha, ligaments can be damaged also in this case. Also muscle pain and swelling can halt in day-to-day chores due to Vata imbalance. So balancing of these Doshas which are in disturbed quantities i.e. Vata , Pitta and Kapha, can be achieved with the use of Rasaushadhies effectively. In nut shell ,muscular disorders are the result of Dosha Vikriti and to overcome these disorders different types of preparations of Rasa (mercurial), Maharasa (mostly used in mercurial operations), Uparasa (moderately used in mercurial operations), Sadharnarasa (least used in mercurial operations), Ratna (gems), Visha (toxic edibles), Upvisha (less toxic edibles), Sudha Varga (calcium supplements) etc. can be given to control and rehabilitate the destroyed tissues. Moreover, Rasa (mercurial) preparations can be used as Rasayana ( rejuvenator) after different Samskaras (changes ) like Moorchhan (purification), Moorchhana (Physical &chemical changes) and Bhasmikarana (incineration) etc.
