Abstract
Rasa Shastra is the pharmaceutical branch of Ayurveda. As with any other medical system, the success of Ayur- vedic treatment also depends upon the quality of medicine prescribed to the patient. An integral part of Rasa Shastra lies in the successful pharmaceutical process. Rasaoushadis are the potent Ayurvedic preparations mainly containing metals and minerals. These Oushadis possess a wide range of therapeutic efficacy and are considered superior because of their qualities like small dose, quick action, palatability and longer shelf life. Pradarantaka Yoga is an important Rasa Oushadi described in Rasa Tantra Sara Va Siddha Prayoga Sangraha (part_2)- Streeroga Prakaranam indicated in Rakta Pradara. Pradarantaka Yoga contains Gairika and Amalaki Swarasa. The pharmaceutical procedures adopted in this study are Shodhana, Bhavana, Swarasa Nirmana and preparation of Vati of Pradarantaka Yoga. The specific pharmaceutical blend of these contents can result in a more effective formulation. Till now, no research work has been carried out to standardize this formulation. Therefore, the present study has been planned to standardize the method of preparation of Pradarantaka Yoga according to the method explained in the classical literature. Keywords: Pradarantaka Yoga, Shodhana, Swarasa Nirmana, Standardization.
