Comprehensive Knowledge

Ayurveda the science of life, uses natural resources to fulfill the fundamental objectives i.e. Swasthya Rakshanam and Vyadhi Prashamanam. Ayurveda has been given the greatest emphasis to comprehensive knowledge of drugs. This science of manufacturing drugs is divided under two branches as Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana. Bhaishajya means medicine and Kalpana means forms. Hence Bhaishajya Kalpana means branch of Ayurvedic medicine which deals with preparation of medicines by the use of herbal drugs. Bhaishajya Kalpana includes Panchavidha Kashaya Kalpana as Swarasa, Kalka, Kwatha, Hima and Phanta. Bhaishajya Kalpana also includes preparation of various forms of medicine such as Churna, Guti, Vati, Ghruta Paka, Tail Paka, Lepa, Asava, Arishta etc. Sneha Kalpana is a group of products of medicated Taila and Ghruta. Quality and quantity of lipid soluble extract of medicinal ingredients varies, as per methods, types of material and ratio of material with reference to Sneha Dravya. That is why various methods of Sneha Paka are described in classical texts of Ayurveda. Classically these formulations are having a longer shelf life in comparison to other Ayurvedic herbal medication form. It is only Kalpana which is used through all four modes of administration of such formulations i.e. Pana, Abhyanga, Nasaya and Basti. So to review all these methods at a glance is main aim of this article.

Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic remedy for oral health and detoxification. It involves the use of pure oils as agents to cleanse out harmful bacteria, as well as reduce fungal overgrowth. Oil pulling may also increase saponification in the mouth, creating a soapy environment that cleanses the mouth as vegetable fat is an emulsifier by nature. Most interesting is perhaps the ability of oil to help in cellular restructuring, and are related to the proper functioning of the lymph nodes and other internal organs. Apart from the various available scientific advancements in the medical field, there are age old traditional practices in Ayurvedic medicine which have to be encouraged. Oil pulling, which only requires one to swish oil in the mouth is known to cure many oral and systemic ailments. Though oil pulling is effective, none of the studies considered it as a replacement for the tooth brushing, but can definitely be a supplemental oral hygiene aid. This paper aims at throwing light on the various health benefits of this bygone practice.
