Abstract :

Tamaka Shwasa is basically a disorder of Praanavaha Srootasas while other Srootasas are also vitiated. The parallel disease entity in contemporary medical science to this disorder is Bronchial Asthma. Bronchial Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the lung airways resulting in episodic airflow obstruction. This disease is more predominant in children and aged population. In Charaka Samhita, the group of ten drugs is mentioned for the management of the Shwasa Roga named as Shwasahara Dashemani. Palatability is a main issue in treatment of children so keep it mind the Avaleha (Group A) and Churna (Group B) form is prepared which is very easily palatable in children. In present study, stability with respect to its Microbial profile of Shwasahara Dashemani was carried out. Avaleha (Group A) and churna (Group B) were stored in plastic bags with in container during different climacteric conditions were studied at particular time intervals for a period of 393 days (Group A) and 401 days (Group B) to analysis Mycological findings and presence of bacteriological findings by Wet mount preparation and Gram stain test respectively. At the end of study any Shwasahara Dashemani bag has not present with any microbes after 393(Group A) and 401 days(Group B) of preparation sample, even in different climate and temperature. Hence in present study the stability test of Shwasahara Dashemani with respect to microbiological findings was negative at room temperature, warm and cold, dry and humid conditions.
