“…Despite these facilitating conditions and the positive outlook on Ayurveda products, the adoption of such products can be arduous and complex, as consumers look for certain values as trade‐offs for their consumption (Luchs et al., 2012). The complexity of adoption of Ayurveda product can be ascribed to lack of scientific test and validation of the claims made by the practitioners of Ayurveda; this has led to obscurity and divergent views about Ayurveda products (Lekshmi et al., 2021). The derived values are the influential antecedents that determine consumers’ purchase intentions.…”

The demand for Ayurveda products has been increasing over the last decade, and consumption values are critical in understanding the driving forces behind the success of these products. This study examines an initial‐trust–mediated model using theory of consumption values (TCV) to predict consumer's intention to purchase Ayurveda products. The conditional, functional, emotional, epistemic, and social values in the TCV were used to build an initial‐trust–mediated model. The proposed model was analyzed using a sample of 440 usable responses. The outcomes revealed that the five consumption values used in the model influenced initial trust. Intention to purchase Ayurveda products was found to be influenced by the four consumption values, except social values. Initial trust strongly mediated the effect between consumption values and intention to purchase Ayurveda products. This study provides theoretical, practical, and managerial implications for marketers and other professionals in the natural, eco‐friendly, and green products sector.

“…Recently, Abhrak bhasma , an ayurvedic metal–mineral complex showed particle size distribution in the range of 50–500 nm 57 , which had a major impact on the antibacterial activity of the formulation 58 . Similarly, other traditional preparations like Mandura bhasma and Vanga bhasma possessed average particle sizes between 200–300 nm and 150–300 nm, respectively 59 . The Mandura bhasma had shown strong antibacterial activity against S. aureus , P. aeruginosa , K. pneumoniae , S. typhi , E. coli , E. aerogenes , S. epidermidis, and S. typhimurium 60 .…”

According to the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) data, antibiotic resistance escalates more challenges in treatment against communicable diseases worldwide. Henceforth, the use of combinational antimicrobial therapy and metal-conjugated phytoconstituents composites are considered as alternatives. The present study explored the efficacy of mercuric-sulfide-based metallopharmaceutical, Sivanar Amirtham for anti-bacterial, anti-tuberculosis, anti-HIV therapeutics and toxicity profile by haemolytic assay, first of its kind. The anti-bacterial study was performed against both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA: ATCC 43300), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA14) and Vibrio cholerae (MTCC 3905) by agar well diffusion assay, wherein the highest zone of inhibition was identified for MRSA (20.7 mm) and V. cholerae (34.3 mm) at 25 mg/mL. Furthermore, the anti-tuberculosis activity experimented by microtitre alamar blue assay against M. tuberculosis (ATCC 27294) demonstrated significant activity at the concentration range of 12.5–100 µg/mL. Additionally, the anti-HIV efficacy established by the syncytia inhibition method using C8166 cell lines infected with HIV-1IIIB, showed a significant therapeutic effect. The in-vitro toxicity assay proved Sivanar Amirtham to be non-haemolytic and haemocompatible. The physicochemical characterization studies revealed the nano-sized particles with different functional groups and the distinctive metal–mineral complex could be attributed to the multi-site targeting ability. The rationale evidence and scientific validation for the efficacy of Sivanar Amirtham ensures that it could be proposed as an alternative or adjuvant for both prophylactics and therapeutics to overcome HIV infection and antimicrobial resistance as well as the multi-drug resistance challenges.
