Abstract
Background: Nisha and Amalaki Churna are most commonly prescribed drugs used individually as well as in combination with other drugs in various diseases by Ayurvedic practitioners. The use of Nisha and Amalaki in Prameha is found in various classical texts, including Brihatrayees, Chakradatta, Bhaishajya Ratnavali among others. Diabetes is a major cause of health concern affecting around 10.5% of population. The most worrisome part is that its incidence is on the rise even in rural areas. Prameha (Madhumeha) wsr to Type 2 Diabetes) has adverse effects on many physiological processes and anatomical structures in the body (Saptadushya) and is considered as Mahagada. Aim of the present study was to compile such research works carried out on Nishamalaki at ITRA, Jamnagar and provide brief information about the studies. Material & methods: Total nine studies on Nishamalaki were screened from various PG departments of Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda, Jamnagar. Results and Conclusion: All studies revealed that Nishamalaki reduces the clinical symptoms of Diabetes. The clinical efficacy has been evaluated in both type 1 (in modified form) and type 2 Diabetes. Satisfactory response with a decrease in the intensity of signs and symptoms was reported in all the studies. No adverse effects were reported in any of these studies.
