CLINICAL IMPORTANCE OF PARPATI KALPANA IN GRAHANI ROGA

*Dr. Deepika Bhandari

Abstract

In daily practice, Grahani, one of the Ashta Maha Rogas, is mostly a sickness of the Annavaha Srotas (Gastro Intestinal Tract). The patient passes watery, dry, thin, and undigested feces with sound as a result of this chronic illness, which is caused by deficiency of the Agni (digestive fire). The primary symptom is frequent, occasionally dry, and occasionally wet movements. Fortunately, Grahani Roga (chronic gastrointestinal disease) can be treated with Parpati Kalpana. Grahani Roga was thought to be incurable before to the creation of Parpati, but it is now curable. Since the eighth or ninth century A.D., the description of Parpati (Parpati Ras) has likely been employed in medicine. In his work Rasendra Mangal, Charya Nagarjuna was the first scholar to discuss the medicinal application of Parpati and other Rasa concoctions. In the eleventh century, Acharya Chakradutta provided a detailed account of Rasa Parpati in Grahani Chikitsa. Parpati was found to be beneficial in reducing the symptoms associated with Grahani and a number of other illnesses, including Rajayakshma, Kustha, Gulma, and others.
