INTRODUCTION

In Ayurveda, aahar is very important. That which passes through the process
of aaharan is called aahar. Food, despite being basic to life is also destructive of it
which means food can be cause of ill-health, diseases to life-threatening situation to
death finally. Food has to be adequate in terms of amount/quantity as well as
calories and balanced in terms of nutrients. Food is more than calories. Food has got
socio-cultural and psychological values also. It is here, that Ayurveda scores over
other systema/pathies.

In Ayurveda, any substance taken as aahar (food) has guna (property),

veerya (potency), vipak (resultant of metabolism), and above all prabhav (impact).
Rasas undertake Gunas and is undertaken by veerya which is suppressed by vipak
and finally prabhav makes all of them resultant. Therefore, our food should be such
which provides us calories needed as per age and special conditions eg pregnancy
and lactation and disease or recuperation. Calories must come in balanced form in
terms of carbohydrates, fat and protein. Food is consumed as solids or semi-solids
and liquids. Salads constitute important segment of food. Water other than different
kinds of fluids is needed and must be pure and adequate depending upon age,
occupation, special conditions, exercise and seasons. Know all about Ayurveda

Ayurveda is one of the great gifts of the sages of ancient India to mankind. To
fall sick is natural. Strange, but true! How come? The reason lies within ourselves,
our bodies. As is known, our body is governed by the phenomenon of wear and tear.
More the tear breakdown, more is the possibility of falling sick. In Ayurveda, this
body of ours is considered to be a universe in miniature. This body or any living
organism is composed of pancha mahabhoots (agni, jal, prithvi, vayu and akash) and
is controlled by the laws of nature governing the universe. From panchmahabhoots,
emerge the three doshas- vat, pitta, kaph.

They give rise to daihik prakriti (physical traits/temperament). Besides, satva,

raja, and tam are the mansik (mental/emotional/psychic traits or temperament).
Ayurveda is the oldest scientific medical system in the world with a record of clinical
experience to validate it. However, it is not only a system of medicine in the
conventional sense of curing disease. It is also a way of life that teaches us how to
maintain and protect health. It shows us how to both cure disease and promote
longevity. The naturalness of taking risk is matched with a natural desire to remain
healthy, because the first requisite of the happiness is health.

The health as is known is a state of the body as defined by the World Health
Organisation, health is not mere absence of infirmity but a state of physical, mental
and social well-being. One of the two objectives of Ayurveda is to prevent the arrival
of disease- state of ill health, a guest which comes unannounced, uninvited and
persists its stay. In other words, promotion of positive health is the sheet-anchor of
the approach of Ayurveda.

The second, and less important, is the cure of disease. Ayurveda thus is
mainly basically and primarily aimed at prevention of disease and promotion of
positive health. Needless to say, Ayurveda is not merely a system of medicine. It is
more than that. Ayurveda is also not a 'Science of Life'. The biological sciences, no

1
doubt, form part of the theory and practice of Ayurveda. It is the philosophy of life, art
of living and a science of longevity. What is right, good and proper for happy life is
Ayurveda. Ensuring long life, too, is one of the objectives of Ayurveda. Hence,
Ayurveda is more than a system of medicine.

The concept of prakriti is a unique contribution of Ayurveda to the human

endeavour of preventing physical and mental/psychic infirmities and achieving social
well-being and thereby, staying healthy. The prakriti is daihik(physical) as well as
mansik(mental/psychic) one. Understanding them (prakritis) is the key to immunity
against encroachment of one's physical, mental and social spaces by diseases. The
daihik prakritis are seven in number. Three are uni-dosic, three are bi-dosic and one
is tri-dosic.

On the other hand, mansik prakritis are also three in number and each one is
identified with satva, rajah and tamas. The prakriti of an individual is also determined
by factors like jati (race), kul (family) and kshetra (habitat). In order to prevent
disease and promote positive health, we should follow regulations designed for
different seasons and day-night. In these, regulations are included rules of aahar
(food), vihar (life-style), and nidra (sleep). One should never forget that health is a
state and a state is always liable to change, following the principle of 'negation of
negation', i.e., from health to ill-health to health to ill-health and so on.

Definition

The classical works on Ayurveda describe it as under:

It is that knowledge of life which deals elaborately and at length with

conditions beneficial or otherwise to the humanity, and, to factors conducive to
the happiness, or responsible for misery or sorrow besides indicating measures
for healthful living for full span of life.

Ayurveda is also considered as ‘Science of life’. This probably makes it the

earliest medical science having a positive concept of health to be achieved
through a blending of physical, mental, social moral and spiritual welfare.

According to the ancient books of knowledge, health is considered as a

prerequisite for achieving the supreme ends of life consisting of righteousness,
wealth, artistic values and spiritual freedom. Preventive and curative aspects of
diseases are considered as important components of the concept of positive
health.

Ayurveda deals elaborately with measures of healthful living during the

entire span of life and its various phases. Besides dealing with principles for
maintenance of health, it has also developed a wide range of therapeutic
measures to combat illness. These principles of positive health and therapeutic
measures related to physical, mental, social and spiritual welfare of human
beings. Thus Ayurveda became one of the oldest system of medicine dealing
with both the preventive and curative aspects of life in a most comprehensive
way.

Evolved around 600 BC in India, Ayurveda Science of medicine stressed

on the prevention of body ailments in addition to curing them. Followed by the
Dravidians and Aryans alike, Ayurveda has been practiced ever since. Today, it's
a unique, indispensable branch of medicine - a complete naturalistic system that
depends on the diagnosis of your body's humors - vata, pitta and kapha - to
achieve the right balance. Ayurveda believes in the treatment of not just the ailing
part, but the body as a whole. Making it the natural way to refresh yourself,
eliminate all toxic imbalances from the body and thus regain resistance and good
health.

Origin and History

Ayurveda originated in India long back in pre-vedic period. Rigveda and

Atharva-veda (5000 years B.C.), the earliest documented ancient Indian
knowledge have references on health and diseases. Ayurved texts like Charak
Samhita and Sushruta Samhita were documented about 1000 years B.C. The
term Ayurveda means ‘Science of Life’. It deals elaborately with measures for
healthful living during the entire span of life and its various phases. Besides,
dealing with principles for maintenance of health, it has also developed a wide
range of therapeutic measures to combat illness. These principles of positive
health and therapeutic measures relate to physical, mental, social and spiritual
3
welfare of human beings. Thus Ayurveda becomes one of the oldest systems of
health care dealing with both the preventive and curative aspects of life in a most
comprehensive way and presents a close similarity to the WHO’s concept of
health propounded in the modern era.

A perusal of its several classical treatises indicate presence of two schools

of Physicians and Surgeons and eight specialties. These eight disciplines are
generally called "Ashtanga Ayurveda" and are:-

• Internal Medicine(Kaya Chikitsa)

• Paediatrics(Kaumar Bhritya)
• Psychiatry( Bhoot Vidya)
• Otorhinolaryngology and Ophthalmology(Shalakya)
• Surgery( Shalya)
• Toxicology( Agad Tantra)
• Geriatrics(Rasayana)
• Eugenics and aphrodisiacs(Vajikarana)

Compendia on these subjects like Charak Samihta, Sushruta Samhita etc.

were written by the ancient scholars during B.C. period. These were used for
teaching of Ayurveda in the ancient universities of Takshashila and Nalanda.

The Early Beginning

During its early period, it was perhaps the only system of overall
healthcare and medicine which served well the people in such crucial areas as
health, sickness, life and death. It enjoyed the unquestioned patronage and
support of the people and their rulers. This situation promoted maximally the
growth of this system. Practically all the systematic ground work of laying down
its basic concepts, principles and medicaments took place during this period of
Indian history.

The Medieval Period

Then followed a long period of medieval history marked by unsettled

political conditions and several invasions from outside the country when
Ayurveda faced utter neglect. Its growth was stunted, its teaching and training
were stopped from being spread and its monopoly in practice or utilization was
eroded greatly by the officially supported systems. Ayurveda barely survived
because of its native roots and also because the official systems of medicine
could not reach everywhere particularly in widely scattered and difficult rural
areas.

The Present Era

The political situation of the country was destined to change in favour of

freedom from foreign rule. With the awakening of nationalism and movement for
freedom the Indian cultural values and way of life (including health care and
sickness cure systems) surfaced again. The patriotic zeal of the people, their

4
leaders and benevolence of the rulers of princely States initiated the revival of
Ayurvedic system of medicine even before the country got its freedom. In 1916,
the Members of Imperial Legislative Councils pressed the Government to accept
this ancient and indigenous system of Ayurveda for developing it on scientific
basis and for increasing its usefulness. In 1920, the Indian National Congress
demanded Government patronage for Ayurveda and Provincial Governments
began to grant assistance. The State and Central Governments appointed
several committees to suggest ways and means of rehabilitating this time tested
system in the service of the people and promote its further growth following
modern scientific parameters and methods. As a result, several States started
schools and colleges for training of competent Ayurvedic practitioners with
working knowledge of modern medicine.

After, the country became free in 1947, the movement for revival gained
additional momentum. The first Health Ministers’ Conference resolved that
Ayurveda should be developed and put to use for providing Medicare to the
people. In due course of time this system got official recognition and became a
part of the National Health network of the country. In several ways, the official
health policies, national plans and programs accorded to it the same status as
enjoyed by the dominant Allopathic system. At present the system is well set to
re-orient itself to modern scientific parameters. Simultaneously, it is well poised
for much greater, effective utilization so as to enable the country to reach its
goals of Health for all and regulate population growth. In the present situation,
Medical Scientists are researching Ayurveda remedies for lifestyle related
diseases, degenerative and psychosomatic disorders.There are few countries in
the world, viz, India, Greek, China etc who has considered being the oldest
culture and heritage in the world.

The four Vedas, Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Athar Veda form
the core of the Hindu religion. They contain the Hindu rituals, worships, mantras
and all the religious and social principles, which are the foundation of Hinduism.
They also contain several coded instructions and secrets related to use of
medicines and secret Tantrik rituals to attain various objectives.

“Rigved” (related Nature and its findings thus it relates more to

personification of natural elements like Agni (Fire), Vayu (Air) and Surya (Sun).
The “Rigveda”is a collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns dedicated to the gods.

“Yajurved”- related to It’s contains religious texts focusing on liturgy,

rituals and sacrifices, and how to perform the same.

“Samaveda” ranks next in sanctity and liturgical importance to the

Rigveda or Veda of Recited praise. Its Sanhita, or metrical portion, consists
chiefly of hymns to be chanted by the Udgatar priests at the performance of
those important sacrifices in which the juice of the Soma plant, clarified and
mixed with milk and other ingredients, was offered in libation to various deities.

The Collection is made up of hymns, portions of hymns, and detached

verses, taken mainly from the Rigveda, transposed and re-arranged, without
reference to their original order, to suit the religious ceremonies in which they

5
were to be employed. The verses are not intended to be chanted, but to be sung
in specifically indicated melodies using the seven svaras or notes. Such songs
are called Samagana and in this sense the Samaveda is really a book of hymns.
It is related to art of singing with spiritual touch.

“Atharved” –relates to economics and management. The Atharvaveda,

while undoubtedly belonging to the core Vedic corpus, in some ways represents
an independent parallel tradition to that of the Rigveda and Yajurveda.

Eighteen “Puranas” sixteen “Smruti” and many other religious books

written by sacred sage Maharshi Ved Vyas Muni in his Trans and meditation. It is
believed that all these books has solution of each and every problems related to
individual material or spiritual life, any countries overall problems, any society’s
general problems at large. In India, Ayurveda was born way back before lacs of
years and the story derived again from one of the above mentioned “Puranas
Granth” called “ShrimadBhagwat Grandh” written by Maharshi Ved Vyas lacs of
years back. We briefly narrated the story for general knowledge of our customers
who are interested in such mythology and Indian culture.

 AYURVEDIC FORMULATION
Introduction

Typically, therapeutic ayurvedic formulations based on several medicinal

herbs are designed to stimulate and enhance the functionality of each ingredient. At
the same time, ayurvedic formulations also aim at suppressing and counteracting
toxicity, as well as avoiding incompatibility of each ingredient. Therefore, the balance
and interaction of all the ingredients are considered more important than the effect of
the individual ingredients. In contrast to a typical Western medication, which focuses
on a single chemical entity that targets a single organism or organ ,ayurvedic
formulations often rely on the combined and synergetic effects of the several herbs
to target multiple indications of a disease.

Extraction" refers to a process in which one or more substances having

pharmacological activities, or "active substances", are isolated from an herb or a
mixture of herbs. Typically, the active substances in the herb(s) preferentially
dissolve into a liquid medium. The liquid medium containing the active substances
extracted from one or more herbs, also referred to "liquid phase", can thereafter be
separated from the herb(s) to provide an "herbal extract" or "extract".

"Infusion" refers to a process to carry out the extraction, in which the herbs
are soaked in a liquid medium to enable the active substances to enter the liquid
medium. Typically, the herbs are allowed to infuse for a sufficient amount of time for
the active substances in the liquid phase to reach an equilibrium, such that no more
active substances can be further extracted even with prolonged infusion.

The nature and the yield of an active substance extracted are dependent
upon its solubility in a given liquid medium. A liquid medium may be polar or non-
polar. Examples of the polar liquid medium include water, alcohols, acetone, or a
mixture thereof. Examples of the non-polar liquid medium (or lipophilic solvent)
include an oil, such a plant-based oil, an animal- based oil or a mineral oil. In certain
embodiments, an active substance may be preferentially soluble in one type of
medium over another. For example, Doscin, an active substance in Paris, is soluble
in methanol, ethanol, n-butanol, water, hydrate methanol and ethanol, but insoluble
in lipophilic organic solvent. An active substance is "soluble" in a liquid medium if its
solubility in the liquid medium is at least 0.1 mg/ml (w/v) at room temperature (about
25°C).

A liquid medium may be volatile, having a boiling point of no more than 160 0C.
Examples of volatile liquid media include water, an alcohol, acetone or a mixture
thereof. Examples of the alcohol include methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol,
and combinations thereof.

"Extracted substances" refers to one or more active substances isolated from

the herbs. In certain embodiments, the extracted substances are in a concentrated
form by removing the liquid medium. For example, the extract of Paris and
Sanguisorba can be concentrated by allowing the liquid medium to evaporate. Once

7
the liquid medium is removed, the concentrated extract may be in the form of a
liquid, for example, an oily substance. It may also take the form of a semi-solid or
solid. The concentrated extract can be further formulated into various forms by
combining with a carrier material, such as a cream, an oil or a gel. In other
embodiments, the extract can be used directly or further formulated without the
removal of the liquid medium.

"Aqueous extract" refers to an extract of active substances extracted from an

herb or a mixture of herbs by infusing the herbs in water.

As noted herein, the biological activity of the herbal formulation is the

combined result of a mixture of the active substances. Without wishing to be bound
by any particular theory, it is believed that the extract of Paris and Sanguisorba
comprises active substances that separate necrotic tissue from healthy tissue at the
burn site. The active substances may be of a chemical or a biological nature.
"Necrotic tissue" refers to damaged and unviable tissue in any layer of skin caused
by a burn, an infection or complications ensuing thereafter. Necrotic tissue tends to
adhere to the burn site and provides a breeding ground for bacterial growth. As
noted herein, removal of the necrotic tissue (debridement) is critical in preventing
infection, control inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration.

In addition, the extract of Paris and Sanguisorba comprises active substances

having pain-relieving, hemostatic, broad-spectrum antimicrobial, anti-virus and anti-
inflammatory activities. Testing has shown that Paris contains a variety of glycosides
having hemostatic ability, and saponins having pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory
functions. In a certain embodiment, Sanguisorba extract in the liquid medium as
defined herein contains saponins and other glycosides, as well as a variety of tannin
compounds. The combined effects of the extract of Paris and Sanguisorba therefore
target multiple indications of a typical burn injury, such as local infection, hemorrhage
and edema.

 METHODS OF PREPARING AYURVEDIC DRUGS
In traditional ayurvedic medicine systems, herbal remedies are prepared in
several rather standardized ways which usually vary based upon the plant utilized,
and sometimes, what condition is being treated. Some of these methods include:
infusions (hot teas), decoctions (boiled teas), tinctures (alcohol and water extracts),
and macerations (cold-soaking) which are detailed more fully herein. In indigenous
Indian medicine systems, medicine men or shamans generally use these same
methods in addition to others. Others include preparing plants in hot baths (in which
the patient is soaked in it or bathed with it), inhalation of powdered plants (like snuff),
steam inhalation of various aromatic plants boiled in hot water, and even
aromatherapy. The well-trained herbalist will always throughly review the time-
honored method in which a plant has been traditionally prepared—it holds important
information for preparing an effective herbal remedy.

Preparing Your Own Remedies:-

While a bit more trouble and time consuming, making your own natural
remedies is usually much more economical than purchasing manufactured products.
They can also be much more effective when prepared properly and by following
time-honored traditional preparation methods. The first step is sourcing the good raw
plant materials. Most coming from South America and the Amazon (featured in this
book) will only be available in a dried state, and in either a cut herb or ground
powder form. Find a reputable supplier who exports regularly from the region and
PLEASE, ask questions about their harvesting practices. Many South American
plants are harvested unsustainably - causing more rainforest destruction, rather than
helping to preserve it. Again, do the research required to find a good supplier, ask
questions, and make sure you are obtaining the correct species of plant, it is fresh,
and it has been sustainably harvested.

If you don't plan on using the plant(s) immediately, it's best to keep them
unopened, in their original packaging, and away from direct sunlight (just put them in
a closed cupboard/cabinet). Many plants will absorb moisture and humidity from the
air, so if they are opened, reseal them tightly, or put them into glass jars with a tight-
fitting lid (avoid metal containers). Most will never require refrigeration or freezing -
just keep them at average room temperature (70-80 degrees). Generally, the "shelf-
life" for optimum freshness will be about a year for a dried leaves, and two years for
dried barks and roots if stored properly. If you live in a warm, high humidity area, it
may be impossible to keep moisture out of regularly opened and closed glass
containers, and the plants may become moldy. If this happens, discard them and
purchase fresh ones. Next time, try storing them in paper lunch bags so they can
"breathe" (although this will reduce the shelf-life significantly).

It is not always necessary to find a tea-cut plant to prepare a tea; ground

powders can be used to make teas, tinctures and decoctions just as well. Since the
plant is finely ground, it usually makes a stronger remedy as more surface area of
the plant is available to extract in the liquid. Extra time filtering is normally required

9
when working with plant powders, but many herbalists prefer working with powders
instead of bulky cut herbs since they make stronger extracts. It is also recommended
to use distilled or purified water when extracting medicinal plants. Regular tap water
can contain chlorine and other chemicals which might have an interaction or chain
reaction with one or more of the many chemicals found in plants.

Instructions for the main preparation methods used in the reference

guides and in the main plant section are as follows.

Infusions

Infusions are typically used for delicate herbs, leaves and fresh tender plants.
Preparing an infusion is much like making a cup of tea. Water is brought just to a boil
and then poured over an herb (or combination of herbs), it is covered and allowed to
sit/steep for 10-15 minutes or so. It can be prepared in the drinking cup (by just
pouring the heated water over the herb in the cup) or by dropping the herb into the
pot which the water was heated in. Empty gauze tea-bags are even available at
some herb stores which can be filled with herbs and then sealed with a iron. If an
infusion is prepared in the heating pan/pot, it's best to use a ceramic pot with a lid
(avoid metal pots). Stirring it a few times while steeping (especially with cut herbs) is
helpful. Keeping the infusion covered while steeping is generally recommended as
well (place a saucer on top of the cup, or a lid on top of the pot). The ratio of herb to
water can vary depending on the remedy, the plant, and whether cut herb or
powdered herb is used. Generally using 1 teaspoon of powdered herb or 2
teaspoons of more bulky cut herb in a 6-8 ounce cup of water is sufficient. If using a
powdered herb; stir once halfway through the seeping time and let the powder settle
to the bottom of the cup, then drink the infusion off the top (leaving the sediment in
the bottom of the cup). If using a cut herb, strain the infusion with a tea-strainer after
seeping. Infusions are best prepared as needed and taken the same day it was
prepared and can be taken hot, warm, or cold. Standard dosages of infusions are
generally one teacup (6-8 ounces), two or three times daily. The entire day's dosage
can be prepared in the morning (2-3 cups at one time), and the remainder
refrigerated until ready to use. The exceptions are the more aromatic plants with
active essential oils. These are best prepared in single dosages (by the cupful) as
needed and taken immediately (and while still hot/warm).

Decoctions

Decoctions are usually the method of choice when working with tougher and
more fibrous plants, barks and roots (and which have water soluble chemicals).
Instead of just steeping it in hot water, the plant material is boiled for a longer period
of time to soften the harder woody material and release its active constituents. To
prepare a decoction, select a ceramic pot with a snug fitting lid. Measure the amount
of herb needed (usually the same ratio of 1 teaspoon powdered herb or 2 teaspoons
of cut herb per 8 ounces of water) into the pot and add the proper amount of cold
water depending on how many cups of the decoction you wish to prepare. Turn on
the heat to medium high and bring to a roiling boil. Place the lid on the pot and
reduce the heat to medium or medium-low so that the mixture stays at a good
simmer. Simmer it covered for 20 minutes. If you can see steam escaping or smell
the aroma of the herb, your lid is not tight enough and valuable essential oils are

10
escaping. After 20 minutes, remove from heat and cool slightly. If using cut herbs,
strain the mixture through a tea strainer into a teacup. When straining, make sure to
press on the cut herb pieces in the strainer to get as much liquid/decoction out of the
herb pieces as possible. If using powdered herb, allow the powder to settle to the
bottom of the pot and then pour off the decoction from the top into a teacup (any
sediment missed will settle to the bottom of the teacup). Standard dosages for
decoction are generally one-half to one cup, two or three times daily. Again, the
entire day's dosage can be prepared in the morning (2-3 cups at one time), and the
remainder refrigerated until ready to use later in the day.

Strong Decoctions

Depending on the type of plant material used, strong decoctions are prepared
in two general ways. The first involves boiling the mixture longer. This is usually
indicated when working with larger woody pieces of bark. Longer boiling time, up to
2 hours or more, is sometimes necessary to break down, soften, and extract the
larger pieces. Alternatively, when smaller woody pieces are used yet a stronger
remedy is wanted, the decoction is prepared as above (boiling 20 minutes), then it is
allowed to sit/soak overnight before straining out the herb. When straining, again,
make sure to press on the cut herb pieces in the strainer to get as much
moisture/decoction out of the herb pieces.

Macerations

This method of preparation is certainly the easiest. The fresh or dried plant
material is simply covered in cool water and soaked overnight. The herb is strained
out and the liquid is taken. Normally this is used for very tender plants and/or fresh
plants, or those with delicate chemicals that might be harmed by heating or which
might be degraded in strong alcohol. This is also the easiest to adapt to western
methods, since tablets or capsules can be used instead. Alternatively, just stir the
ground plant powder into juice, water or smoothies and drink.

11
 AYURVEDIC TABLETS PREPARATION TECHNIQUE
Briefly, this is how the spagyric technique works:

• The raw plant material is soaked in water and alcohol, the two best solvents
known. These natural solvents dissolve the compound into a solution that
extracts otherwise insoluble elements.
• Next, the solution is put under heavy pressure in a 100,000-pound press. This
separates the liquid from the “mark” -- the material left in the press.
• In other processes the “mark” is discarded. But we know this cellulose fiber
contains a wealth of phyto-nutrients. We save the “mark” and reduce it to
mineral ash, retaining all of its valuable components.
• We then re-combine the mineral ash with the “mother” solution.

By using this rare and superior process, no part of the plant is wasted. No
essence of the plant is lost. The finished formula retains the plant’s original
constitution, but with much more strength, absorbability and healing potential than a
raw plant.

Formulations

(a) Direct compression:

Direct compression is used when a group of ingredients can be blended,

placed onto a tablet press, and made into a perfect tablet without any of the
ingredients having to be changed. Powders that can be blended and compressed
are commonly referred to

as directly compressible or as direct-blend formulations. Blending the

powders, putting them onto a tablet press, and seeing what happens is the most
direct way to make a tablet. Sometimes the tablet will fall apart, the active ingredient
won’t be in all the tablets (no content uniformity), or all the powders won’t fit into the
die cavity (the place where powders are filled on the tablet press). Simply blending
powders does not form a granule.When powders do not compress correctly, they
must be granulated.

Nevertheless, not all products must be granulated.Many processes are

unnecessarily implemented because the objective and reason for choosing a
process path were incorrect. Before choosing a means to process a formula, the
best course of action is to put the product on the press to see what happens.

12
Tablet Compression Operation

Compression Machines

Tablets are made by compressing a formulation containing a drug or drugs

with excipients on stamping machines called presses. Tablet compression machines
or tablet presses are designed with the following 'basic components:

1. Hopper(s) for holding and feeding granula tion to be compressed.

2. Dies that define the size and shape of the tablet.

Manufacture of Granulations

Dry Manufacturing Methods

The manufacture of granulations for tablet compression may follow one or a

combination of three established methods: the dry methods of direct compression,
compression granulation, and wet granulation. Table 11-3 compares the type and
number of processing steps commonly required with each technique. A
consideration of the important aspects of these processes illus-trates the advantages
and disadvantages of each.
Direct Compression. There are a few crystalline substances, such as sodium
chloride, s0dium bromide, and potassium chloride that may be compressed
directly. The vast majority of medicinal agents are rarely so easy to tablet, however.
In addition, the compression of a single substance may produce tablets that do not
disintegrate. If disintegration is a problem, other components are needed, which in
turn may interfere with the compressibility of the active ingredient and thus
minimize the usefulness of the method. Most materials possess relatively weak
intermolecular attraction or are covered with films of adsorbed gases that tend to
hinder compaction. Thus, most large-dose drugs do not lend themselves to this
process. With many other drugs having small doses, uniform blends of the drug
and coarser direct compression diluents cannot be achieved, which makes this
process impractical. However, the use of compressible diluents with many
moderate-dose drugs makes this process the most streamlined method of tablet
manufacture.
A directly compressible diluent is an inert substance that may be compacted
with little difficulty and may compress even when quantities of drugs are mixed with
it. Compression capacity is still maintained when other tablet materials necessary

13
for flow, disintegration, and so forth are blended in. Direct compression materials,
in addition to possessing good flow and compressibility, must be inert, tasteless,
reworkable, able to disintegrate, and inexpensive.
Even though direct compresQion has some important advantages (low labor
input, a dry process, and fewest processing steps) there are some limitations to the
technique.
1. Differences in particle size and bulk density between the drug and diluent
may lead to stratification within the granulation. The stratification may then result in
poor content uniformity of the drug in the compressed tablet. The stratification and
resultant content uniformity problems are of special concern with low-dose drugs.
2. A large-dose drug may present problems with direct compression if it is not
easily compressible by itself. To facilitate compression, noncompressible large-dose
drugs, which are usually restricted to about 30% of a direct com pression formula,
could require an amount of diluent so large that the resultant tablet is costly and
difficult to swallow.
3. In some instances, the direct compression diluent may interact with the
drug. A good example of such a reaction is that which occurs between amine
compounds and spray-dried lactose, as evidenced by a yellow discoloration.
4. Beccause of the dry nature of direct compression, Static charge buildup
can occur on the drug routine screening and mixing, which may prevent a uniform
distribution of the drug in the granulation.
The equipment and procedures used in direct compression are basically
screenIng or milling and mixing. Compression Granulation. Compressiongranulation
has been used for many years, and is a valuable technique in situations where the
effective dose of a drug is too high for direct compaction, and the drug is sensitive to
heat, moisture, or both, which ,precludes wet granulation. Many aspirin and vitamin
formulations are prepared for tabletting by compression granulation.
Compression granulation involves the compaction of the components of a
tablet formulation by means of a tablet press or specially designed machinery,
followed by milling and screening, prior to final compression into a tablet. When the
inltial blend of powders is forced into the dies of a large-capacity tablet press and is
compacted by means of flat-faced punches, the compacted masses are called slugs,
and the prqcess is referred to as "slugging." The slugs are then screened or milled to
produce a granular form of tabletting material, which now flows more uniformly than
the original powder mixture. When a single slugging process is insufficient to confer
the desired granular properties to the material, the slugs are sometimes screened,
slugged again, and screened once more.
Slugging is just an elaborate method of subjecting a material to increased
compression time. The act of slugging followed by screening and subsequent
compression of the particles is roughly equivalent to an extended dwell time during
compression in a tablet machine. The two or more times that the material is
subjected to compact pressures causes a strengthening of the bonds that hold the
tablet together. The resultant granules also increase the fluidity of these powder
mixtures, which by themselves do not flow well enough to fill the dies satisfactorily.
As shown in Table, the compression granulation method requires less
equipment and space than other methods, and eliminates the addition of moisture
and the application of heat, as found in the wet massing and drying steps of the wet
granulation method.
On a large scale, compression granulation can also be performed on a
specially designed machine called a roller compactor. Roller c.ompactors are

14
capable of producing as much as 500 kg per hour or more of compacted ribbon-like
material, which can then be screened or milled into a granulation suitable for
compression into tablets.
Roller compactors, utilize two rollers that revolve toward each other. By
means of a hydraulic ram forcing one of the rollers against the other, the machine
is-capable of exerting known fixed pressures on any powdered material that flows
between the rollers. Powdered material is fed between the rollers by a screw
conveyor system. May passing through the rollers, the compacted mass resembles
a thin Wide ribbon that has fallen apart into large segments. These are equivalent to
the slugs produced by the slugging process. The segments are then screened or
milled for the production of granules. The compaction force of the roller compactor
is controlled by three variables: (1) the hydraulic pressure exerted on the
compaction rolls, (2) the rotational speed of the compaction rolls, and (3) the
rotational speed of the feed screws. The roll speed and the feed-screw speed have
the greatest effect on the compaction process. The feed screws on most modem
compactors consist of a variable-speed horizontal and vertical screw. The horizontal
screw picks up the powder from the hopper and maintains a continuous flow to the
vertical screw. The vertical screw delivers the powder to the compaction roIls. The
vertical screw speed is critical for uniform compaction. It serves to deaerate the
powder and maintains a constant flow onto the compaction rolls. Any variation in
deaeration or load causes extreme changes in the compact. The vertical feed screw
is usually set so that it delivers more material than the compaction rolls accept,
assuring constant loading during the compaction process. The speed of the
compaction rolls controls the pressure dwell time, which has a great effect on the
density and hardness of the compact.
A standard procedure for testing compaction uniformity and machine capacity
is to select a hydraulic pressure in the mid-ranges of the equipment. Set the
compaction roll at the slowest speed, and set the feed screw at the highest speed. If
the powders are compactable in the first pass, the machine will overload. When this
happens, the compaction roll speed should be increased until the loading is
constant. Maximum throughput is achieved at this setting for the material being
tested. If no overloading occurs, the powder should be passed through a second
time, using the same procedure. The roller compactor offers the advantages over
the slugging process of increased production capacity, greater control of compaction
pressure and dwell time, and no need for excessive lubrication of the powder.

Wet Granulation

The wet granulation technique uses the same preparatory and finishing steps
(screening or milling, and mixing) as the two previously discussed granulation
techniques. The unique portions of wet granulation process involve the wet massing
of the powders, wet sizing or milling, and drying. Methods. Wet granulation forms
the granules by binding the powders together with an adhesive, instead of by
compaction. The wet granulation technique employs a solution, suspension, or
slurry contairiing a binder, which is usually added to the powder mixture; however,
the binder may be incorporateo dry into the powder mix, and the liquid may be
added by itself.
The method of introducing the binder depends on its solubility and on the
components of the mixture. Since, in general, the mass should merely be moist
rather than wet or pasty; there is a limit to the amount of solvent that may be

15
employed. Therefore, when only a small quantity is permissible, the binder is
blended in with the dry powders initially; when a large quantity is required, the
binder is usually dissolved in the liquid. The solubility of the binder also has an
influence on the choice of methods, since the solution should be fluid enough to
disperse readily in the mass.
The liquid plays a key role in the granulation process. Liquid bridges are
developed between particles, and the tensile strength of these bonds increases as
the amount of liquid added is increased. These surface tension forces and capillary
pressure are primarily responsible for initial granule formation and strength. Once
the granulating liquid has been added, mixing continues until a uniform dispersion is
attained and all the binder has been activated. During granulation, particles and
agglomerates are subjected to consolidating forces by action of machine parts and
of interparticulate forces. Granulation in blenders requires 15 min to an hour. The
length of time depends on the wetting properties of the powder mixture and the
granulating fluid, and upon the efficiency of the mixer. A rough way of determining
the end point is to press a portion of the mass in the palm of the hand; if the ball
crumbles under moderate pressure, the mixture is ready for the next stage in
processing, which is wet screening.
The wet screening process involves converting the moist mass into coarse.
granular aggregates by passage through a hammer mill or oscillating granulator.
equipped with screens having large perforations. The purpose is to further con-
solidate granules, increase particle contact points, and increase surface area to
facilitate drying. Overly wet material dries slowly and forms hard aggregates, which
tend to turn to powder during subsequent dry milling. There are many instances in
which wet milling may be omitted, with a considerable saving of time. The
formulator should be alert to these opportunities and not follow the old method
blindly.
A drying process is required in all wet granulation procedures to remove the
solvent that was used in forming the aggregates and to reduce the moisture
content to an optimum level of concentration within the granules. During drying,
interparticulate bonds result from fusion or recrystallization and curing of the
binding agent, with vander Waals forces playing a significant role.
After drying, the granulation is screened again. The size of the screen
depends upon the grinding equipment used and the size of the tablet to be made.

16
 TABLET DESIGN AND FORMULATION

The three basic methods of tablet manufacture have been previously

detailed, the desirable properties and required features of granulations and tablets
defined, and the interrelationships between many of these properties and the proc-
essing and machine variables noted. Regardless
of how tablets are manufactured. conventional oral tablets for ingestion
usually contain the same classes of components .in addition to the active
ingredients, which are one or more agents functioning as

(1) A diluent,
(2) A binder or an adhesive.
(3) A disintegrant, and
(4) A lubricant.

Some tablet formulations may additionally require a flow promoter. Other

more optional components include colorants, and in chewable tablets, flavors and
sweeteners. All nondrug components of a formula are termed excipients.

17
Preparation Methods

Single drugs are rarely used in Ayurveda. The formulations often contain
heterogeneous mixtures of herbs and minerals with a complex process of purification
and preparation.
The traditional methods used to prepare Ayurvedic drugs are based on the
principles of extraction, concentration, and purification. The choice of preparation
method depends on the part of the plant to be used, on its condition (fresh or dried),
and on the drug's expected use; for example, cold decoctions are preferred for
conditions attributed to an excess of pitta. Plants can also be used whole or as their
expressed juice.
A common method for the preparation of an herbal decoction involved 1 part
of herb to 16 parts of water. This mixture is then gently heated until it reduced to
one-fourth of the original volume. Water is the major solvent used for extraction, but
milk, oil, or fermented juices are also used. Both medicinal wine (asava-arishta) and
medicinal jams (leha-avaleha) are used in Ayurvedic preparations.
Some substances used in Ayurvedic medicine are toxic in their original form,
such as poisonous herbs (aconite) or metals (lead, mercury, arsenic, antimony).
Shodhana (purification) is the process by which toxic substances are purified; that is,
rendered less toxic. For example, detoxification of mercury involved heating and
cooling the mercury salt, grinding it, and then suspending and re-suspending the
substance in a variety of liquids. Specific products that facilitate the process are
added at each stage of preparation. In addition, the instructions may call for the use
of a specific vessel at different stages of preparation, and they may be detailed to the
point of stating from which direction the heat is to be applied. It is the experience of
Ayurvedic practitioners that at the conclusion of an appropriate purification process,
the toxic substances are no longer poisonous but are therapeutic.
The classical Ayurvedic methods of preparation are complex, tedious, and
shortcuts in preparation may make a significant difference in the efficacy and safety
of the resultant product. Because of this, it may be beyond the scope of the average
scientific paper to exactly describe the method in which an herb is prepared,
especially if a formula is used. This may create a problem in replicating the results of
other researchers.

Example

Formulation of directly compressible dispersible tablets of panchagni lavana

Formulation of ayurvedic powder preparations into tablets may increase

dosage uniformity. Application of direct compression method to ayurvedic
preparations can be regarded as a major advance. In the present study, dispersible
tablets of panchagni lavana were prepared by direct compression test the suitability
of direct compression method and appropriate formulations were developed. These
formulations were further evaluated for hardness, friability, weight variation,
uniformity of dispersion, disintegration test and stability studies. Attempts were made
to get minimum possible disintegration time by varying the concentrations of sodium
starch glycolate and starch. It was found that, use of mixture of both the
disintegrating agents was highly useful in the formulation of dispersible tablets of
panchagni lavana. The study further revealed the usefulness of direct compression
method to formulate dispersible tablets of ayurvedic preparations.

Properties of Ayurvedic Herbs
Ayurvedic herbs are described and classified according to five major
properties: rasa (taste), guna (physicochemical properties), veerya (potency), vipaka
(post-digestive effect), and prabhava (unique effect of the drug) .The term rasa,
mean taste, can also mean dhatus or tissues.

Rasa
It is divided into six major tastes: madhura (sweet), amla (sour/acid), lavana
(salty), katu (pungent), tikta (bitter), and kashaya (astringent). In Ayurveda, each
taste is made of a combination of two of the five basic elements or mahabhutas
(earth, water, fire, air, and ether). Each taste has corresponding effects on the three
bodily doshas (pitta, vata, and kapha).

Guan
It represents the more physical aspects of a medicinal substance. There are
five major classes of guna, and each class corresponds to one of the major
elements:
• Heaviness corresponds with earth;
• Unctuousness with water;
• Keenness and sharpness with fire;
• Dryness with air; and
• Light with ether.
Gunas are generally considered in pairs: light/heavy, wet/dry, etc. There is an
extensive subdivision of guna based on combinations with the elements, but its
description is beyond the scope of this report

Veerya

It represents the active principle or potency of a drug.

Factors such as growth conditions, harvesting technique, and storage affect
an herb's veerya. Various authorities have different classification systems for this
attribute. The simplest system classifies veerya as having properties that range
between hot and cold. Substances that heat are pitta dominant; cooling ones are
kapha and vata dominant.

Vipaka

It is the quality a substance takes on after it has been acted on by the body.
After digestion, the rasas are simplified into three groups corresponding to three
vipakas.

Prabhava

It refers to a drug's unique influence on the body. Even though the drugs have
the same rasa, guna, veerya, and vipaka they may have different actions in the
body. The drug's prabhava accounts for these differences.

 CONCLUSION

The conclusion showed by this report given many data, that shows its
property is better than other type of formulation. The ayurvedic formulation given less
fast effect but for long time effect.

They give rise to daihik prakriti (physical traits/temperament). Besides, satva,

raja, and tam are the mansik (mental/emotional/psychic traits or temperament).
Ayurveda is the oldest scientific medical system in the world with a record of clinical
experience to validate it. However, it is not only a system of medicine in the
conventional sense of curing disease. It is also a way of life that teaches us how to
maintain and protect health. It shows us how to both cure disease and promote
longevity.

The Herbal medication or formulation given a drug that having less toxicity
and less reactivity with body than comparison to other system of
medication/formulation.
