Determining dosages for Ayurvedic formulations

Posted by lakhotia on 28 Jun 2012 at 03:51 GMT

It is very likely that when these formulations were established in the ancient times, the Ayurvedic poractioners would have determined the appropriate human dosages for each formulation either by trial and error or more likely by some kind of experimentation, Unfortunately, there is no available record of any such studies which would have taken place thousands of years ago. What is needed is to re-establish a well documented scientific basis of the mechanism of action of these formulation. The present study is an attempt in this direction
