“…Svedana involves steaming of a drug with cow's milk or boiling it in an acidic solvent like lemon juice (Belge and Belge, 2012;Sharma, 2005). Distinctly, the processing methods of Ayurvedic medicinal materials also include frying, soaking and steaming, which is similar to the TCM processing methods.…”

“…To reduce toxicity simple digests and absorbable to make them proper for metabolic changes and digestible by the tissue cells and to make them therapeutically effective numerous methods for Shodhana of minerals have been prescribed. Depending upon the nature of the minerals and the disease for which they are meant to be used, the specific process for purification vary from one mineral to the another and the process is repeated for several times (Belge and Belge, 2012). Manahshila has been studied in the last several years and has been reported to possess potent anticancer activity (Sharma et al, 2016).…”

Objective: Realgar (arsenic sulphide), popularly known as Manahshila (in India), used for the treatment of various diseases like eye, skin, respiratory, psychological disorders and also including pain related ailments. This study is aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory efficacy of Ashodhita Manahshila (AM) and Shodhita Manahshila (SM) using in vitro models of inflammation. Shodhana (Purification) of Manahshila was carried out by Material and methods: seven Bhavana (levigation) with ginger juice. Five concentration levels (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 µg/mL) of the AM, SM were evaluated by using heat induced protein denaturation and heat induced hemolysis of the erythrocyte and subjected to determination of absorbance to assess the anti-inflammatory activity. Indomethacin was used as the positive control at same concentration levels. The present findings exhibited a concentration dependent inhibition of protein Results: denaturation and hemolysis of the erythrocyte by the SM. The effect of AM was found to be less when compared with the SM and indomethacin. From the present study it can be concluded that SM marked anti-inflammatory effect in vitro as compared to AM against the denaturation of protein and hemolysis of the erythrocyte. By this study it Conclusion: can be concluded that after Shodhana, drug not only transformed into physical and chemical changes but also safely digestible as well as improve therapeutic efficacy.

“…[2,3] The thought of Shodhana in Ayurveda not only includes the process of purification/detoxification of physical as well as chemical impurities but also covers the minimization of side effects and enhancing the healing efficacy of the purified drugs. [4][5][6] The Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India details Shodhana of A. precatorius pericarps, which leads to its purification by various methods. The present research article is deal with the detoxification process of the pericarps and comparative evaluation of the acute intraperitoneal toxicity of Ashodhita and Shodhita A. precatorius pericarps.…”

Aim: Abrus precatorius Linn. (Fabaceae) pericarps are used for the treatment of sciatica and alopecia which comprises the toxic protein and alkaloids, abrine, trigonelline, choline, and hypaphorine. Ayurveda urges the use of Abrus pericarps after the Shodhana process (detoxification). The current study was aimed at performing the Shodhana process, Swedana (boiling) of A. precatorius pericarps using cow's milk, and Kanji (sour gruel) as a medium and to evaluate the acute toxicity of pericarps before and after detoxification in cow's milk and Kanji. Materials and Methods: The acute toxicity study was carried out as per organization for economic cooperation and development guidelines 425. In acute toxicity study, the intraperitoneal dose (0.5, 1, and 2 mg/kg) of Ashodhita (unprocessed) and Shodhita (processed) white and black varieties of pericarps of A. precatorius was administered to 30 groups in a single dose, and general behavior, adverse effects, and mortality were determined up to 72 h. Results and Discussion: In acute toxicity, Ashodhita white and black varieties of pericarps of A. precatorius were found toxic, whereas neither mortality nor any significant alteration in behavior was observed in black varieties of pericarps of Shodhita A. precatorius, while some mortality and alteration in behavior were observed in white varieties of pericarps of Shodhita A. precatorius. Conclusion: The white varieties of pericarps are more toxic than black varieties of A. precatorius. It was also found that Shodhana in Kanji is more effective than cow's milk.
