*Dear Dr. Anshuman Biswal, Dr. M. Paramkussh and Dr. S. Pavan Kumar

Abstract

Acute and emergency conditions management depends upon drug delivery system and potency of drug. Daivavyapasraya chikitsa is mentioned to treat the ailments in Samhitas. Vishnusahasranama is said to recite at the time of Vishamajwara. Plants being beings are likely to be influenced by mantras. It may be possible to enhance the potency of the drugs by exposing them to mantras during growth. With this hypothesis the present study is designed. The drug Tulsi contains high content of Aromatic compounds with methyl eugenol as the main constituent, which are heat sensitive. The volatile oils and chemical constituents get destroyed or evaporated on drying. By adding Sharkara the properties of Tulsi Swarasa remain the same. Its odor also remains as it is. Here Sharkara is added with Tulsi Swarasa in order to preserve Tulsi Swarasa in its originality and to save the volatile contents of Tulsi from being destroyed. Thus Tulsi Swarasa is preserved for long time. By the preparation Sharkara Kalpana the drug becomes palatable and convenient to use. Its active principles and volatile contents are also preserved. Being associated with sugar the absorption of drug become faster. As Avaleha and Gutika (Which are chewable) act better on respiratory system, like that Sharkara will also act better on respiratory disorders than other forms of drug. Finally a new Kalpana has come forward that is Tulsi Sharkara and is used in this study
