A study of standardization of Ashuddha( Impure) & Shuddha ( Pure) Dhattura seeds

  
Title:- A study of standardization of Ashuddha( Impure) & Shuddha ( Pure)  Dhattura seeds.

Dr. M. V. Agate had submitted his dissertation in 1999 Year, for the P.G. degree M.D. Dravyaguna (Ayurvedic Pharmacology). His guide was Dr. T.  M. Nesari & research center was Tilak Ayurved Mahavidyalaya, Pune (M.S.) India, & submitted to University of Pune.

            Dr. Agate had done standardization of purified & non purified Dhattura (Dhattura Metal) seeds.

          Dhattura is a poisonous drug hence its purification is necessary to reduce its toxic & adverse effects.

          Dr. Agate had collected samples of Dhattura seeds from local market, authenticated them & purified it by boiling the seeds in cow’s milk for 3 hours in Dolayantra. Then washed with hot water & dried.

          To evaluate purified (Shuddha) & non purified (Ashuddha) seeds, Botanical, physical chemical & standardization & toxicological study was done of both purified & non purified seeds.

          The research work was concluded as follows-

          Dhattura seeds purified with cow’s milk showed less toxicity in comparison with non purified seeds.


          Hence textual processing of purification of toxic drugs is necessary in standardization & clinical use of drug.
