ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is the science of life which deals with health and wellness of the society. The holistic approach of Ayurveda helps to cure the diseases by acting on multiple systems. Ayurveda is divided into eight branches which can further be considered in "Trisutra"-i.e. Hetu, Linga and Aushadha which are the base for treating every disease.[1] Aushadha is also known as Bhaishaja and plays an important role in treatment of diseases in all the branches of Ayurveda. The natural form of any Aushadi is not feasible in treatment. So, it should be modified by Kalpana. The branch of Ayurveda which prepares and modifies the Aushadi is known as Bhaishajya Kalpana. There are five basic kalpanas.[2] To meet the need of time and to fulfil the requirements like long shelf life, palatability, low dose, quick action, easy dispensing and handling, several upkalpanas were discovered, like Vatikalpana, Avaleha, Sandhan, Sneha, arka Kalpana etc. Among these, Vatikalapana is important and selected due to easy administration, dose management, higher shelf life period and palatability. Ajeerna and Visuchika are mainly diseases of digestive system. It may occur due to irregular diet and bowel habit, as well as it may occur due to krimi (microbes) when ingested, i.e. food and water borne infections. One such most popular herbal drug “Rasonadi Vati” is extensively used for the management of Ajeerna, Visuchika.
