简要总结
Aimed at scientific validation of the clinical efficacy and safety of twenty nine (29) classical Ayurvedic pharmacopoeial formulations, multicentre clinical trials have been initiated as an activity under the Ayurveda Clinical Trials (ACT) project of the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia Committee (APC) during August 2010 in eighteen (18) disease conditions involving fifty four (54) M.D/PhD (Ay.) research scholars in eight (08) postgraduate Ayurveda colleges across the country.
Vyoshadi Guggulu is a poly herbal formulation containing Sunthi (Zingiber officinale), Marica (Piper nigrum), Pippali (Piper longum), Citraka (Plumbago zeylanica), Musta (Cyperus rotundus), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Bibhitaka (Terminalia belerica), Amlaki (Emblica officinalis), Vidanga (Embelia ribes) and Guggulu (Commiphora wightii).
Haritaki Churna consists of dried pericarp of mature fruits of Terminalia chebula.
Vyoshadi Guggulu and Haritaki Churna have been in use since ages and found to be useful in treating Obesity (Sthaulya) and promoting the health. The present study is being undertaken in three post graduate Ayurveda colleges involving the post graduate scholars who would be doing the clinical trials to scientifically study and validate the clinical efficacy and safety of these Ayurvedic formulations as a part of their Post Graduate (PG) Thesis.
The Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) is the nodal organization to co-ordinate and monitor these trials. CCRAS has provided the necessary infrastructure to the participating colleges, technical inputs (including the clinical trial protocols), trial drugs and training to the researchers involved in the project.
