PHARMACEUTICO - ANALYTICAL STUDY OF SOMA YOGA
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Soma yoga is an important formulation in shwas rogadhikar in the Sidha yoga sangraha of Yadav ji Trikam Ji. At the time of present study not much research work was done on this formulation. Somlata is known for its anti-asthmatic properties. In the present study it is in a compound form with a common mercurial preparation Rasa Sindura, with an eye to understand its yogvaahi property. The preparation of Rasa Sindura forms the prototype for all the other Kupipakva Rasayanas (concept developed in relation to the procedure of Gandhaka jarana). Hinguloth Parad (mercury extracted from Cinnabar) was chosen for making the base for Rasa Sindura preparation. The involvement of two important alchemical procedures Kupipakva Nirmana and Hinguloth Parad extraction formed the reason for drug selection. The drug was subjected to modern analytical tools as XRD, FTIR, PSA and ICP analysis to satisfy the growing vigilance regarding the form of metal or mineral present and freedom from unwanted toxic heavy metal contaminants. It can be concluded from the study that Rasa sindura is chemically, the red sulfide of mercury with the presence of organic bonds. Trituration with water helps in uniform distribution of rasa sindura and helps in better absorption because of smaller particle size. It is suggested to use demineralised water for preparation of drugs; the possible source of the presence of cadmium in the study was water.
