Revisiting Yashada.....!

In the present time zinc has been established as a potent immune booster  and a few thoughts about it have been presented here

Modern medicine  came to the conclusion that Zinc is very good immunomodulator and immunebooster when it is taken with the right dosage .

Even in Covid 19 cases, Zinc is used along with multi vitamins to boost and modulate the immune system of the patient .

Many allopathic pharma companies came up with multi vitamins and multi mineral drugs having zinc 50mg .

 I am sure many medical reps have already met u all with their products having elemental zinc of 50mg and claiming it is scientifically proven to be very good for the present situation. 

 Coming to Ayurveda ahara vihara , ayurveda gives much importance to purana shali {nothing but old rice , in those days rice was made by hand pounding the paddy which is again unpolished and all the micro nutrients were intact) . A cup of old unpolished rice which is brown to blackish brown in colour contains 1.20 mg- 1.40mg per  1 small cup (approximately 50gms of rice).

Coming back to Ayurveda Medicines many Herbomineral Medicines contain yashada bhasma(zinc bhasma).

And our Acharya's knew the correct dosage and importance of zinc. They used 1/5th ratti in many cases (approximately 25mg).

Suvarna malini vasanta which is a very good immune modulating and immune boosting drug contains 

 BHASMA 27.78MG

SUVARNA BHASMA 3.47MG 

MOUKTIKA BHASMA 6.94MG

SHUDDHA HINGULA 10.42MG

MARICHA 13.89MG

 ALL THE ABOVE DRUGS ARE VERY POTENT AND IMMUNE BOOSTING AS WELL AS IMMUNOMODULATING DRUGS .

WHILE OTHER SYSTEMS ARE DOING RESEARCHE ON THE MEDICINES FOR COVID-19 , WE FAILED TO ATLEAST 'RE- SEARCH' IN OUR CLASSICAL TEXTS AS WELL AS SHASTROKTA DRAVYA'S 

IT'S THE TIME FOR THE AYURVEDA FRATERNITY TO REALISE THE ACTUAL POTENTIAL OF THE AYURVEDA, ITS NOW OR NEVER SITUATION FOR US. 

Here I'm not saying that Suvarna malini vasanta is the drug of choice or it's the only drug which contains zinc , there are several hundred such preparations in our system , what we have to do is just ' RE- SEARCH'.
