Abstract

Asava and Arista are considered as unique preparation of Ayurveda due to their indefinite shelf life, better absorption, quicker action and easy palatability. Ayurveda has been using cow urine for betterment of physical and mental health of mankind since thousands of years ago. We find the references of benefits of Gomutra in Atharvaveda, Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Astanga Hrdaya, Bhavaprakash etc. Commonly there are several forms of intake of Gomutra as crude, distillate, Ghrita preparation, Gomutrabasti, Nasya, Ghanavati and Asava form. Gomutrasava is a unique preparation where Gomutra is used as the main drug for Asava preparation. In India urine of different breeds of cow are used in medicinal preparation as per geographical area, there is no as such uniformity in its use in pharmaceutical industries. So here I have planned to evaluate the pharmaceuticoanalytical changes in samples of Gomutrasava prepared by Gomutra of different breeds of cows- Malnad gidda, Jersy, Amritmahal, Hallikar and Gir. Conclusion: Based on the output of the pharmaceutical study and analytical study reports it can be concluded that there is no any significant changes in terms of pharmaceutico-analytical study among the 5 samples of Gomutrasava prepared.
