Abstract

In this modern era, lifestyle has changed very much and this caused many diseases. One of these is heart problem such as Hridshool (Angina Pectoris) is very common heart disease.Ayurveda has recommended many Rasoushdies & herbal formulations for Hridshool, like Arjun Ksheer paka and Hridyeshwar Rasa etc. There are many methods of preparing Hridyarnava Rasa in different textbooks, but I found in Rasendra Chintamani, the method of preparing Hridyarnava Rasa best because it contains 2 parts of Tamra Bhasma (Contains properties as Madhur, Kshaya Rasa, Laghu Guna, Tridoshahara) and prepared in fresh decoction of Triphala and fresh extract of Kakmachi.The study is intended to evaluation of Hridyarnava Rasa. This medicine tested with standard parameters pH (4.33), loss on drying (5.52%) and ash content at 450-5500C (55.55%). The acid insoluble ash at 650-7500C and loss on ignition at 8000C are 1.84% and 56.4% respectively. The AAS test showed very low (in ppm) concentration of heavy metals in drug. So it is consumer friendly, highly potent and easy to taken and was able to cure the disease, Hridshoola (AP) to a great extent.

Keywords: Rasa; Standardization; Hridshoola (Angina Pectoris).
