Abstract

Formulation variables were developed for Ayurvedic formulation vasavaleha to produce reproducibility of results. Vasavaleha is a semisolid preparation of drugs, prepared with the addition of jaggery or sugar and boiled with prescribed drug juice or decoction and coded VS-1, VS-2 and VS-3. During preparation each step was monitored like total solid content (% v/w) of vasavaleha was found 180.31±2.18, 182.02±4.01 and 183.34±2.97 respectively for VS-1, VS-2 and VS-3 and coefficient of variance was found 2.449 while specific gravity (g/cm3) was estimated as 1.87±0.09, 1.89±0.06 and 1.86±0.05 with coefficient of variance 0.153. Moisture content (%) was found 3.78±0.86, 3.77±0.05 and 3.77±0.68 respectively and coefficient of variance was found 1.452 while loss on drying (% w/w) was estimated as 5.24±0.18, 5.26±0.13 and 5.24±0.16 with coefficient of variance 0.429. Volatile oil content (% v/w) was measured 0.60±0.001, 0.62±0.011 and 0.60±0.013 and 0.0494 coefficient of variance.

Abstract

The prevalence of allergic disease and asthma has increased dramatically over the past decades. Allergic disease arises as a result of aberrant immune responsiveness against innocuous environmental proteins (antigen). The most important determinant for the development of allergy and asthma is also genetic predisposition, environmental factors, such as exposure to allergens, infections, and air pollution plays an important role in the development of allergic and asthmatic inflammatory responses.
