A Comparative & Clinical Study of – “Effect of Sadyosnehana W.R.T Samyak Snigdha Lakshanas”

Due to lack of systematized scientific research methodology, even though with references available in classics, there is need of logical, critical study of principles and concepts with the help of modern methodology. The purpose of Snehapana is to bring Dosha from Shakha to Koshtha, this effect can be achieved by Matranusara, Arohana, Sadyo and Pravicharana types of Snehana. If Dosha is in ChalaShakhagataAvastha or is already present in Koshtha then AlpaSnehana can also bring the same action. So SadyoSnehana can be more beneficial here. Many references regarding Sadyo Snehana Yogas are mentioned in classics but their dosage and method of administration is not clearly mentioned. Two classical Yogas having good palatability, easy preparation were chosen. Aims & Objectives: To fix the dose & method of administration of Sadyo Snehana. To observe Samyak Snigdha Lakshana of Ksheera Yavagu in Group A& Shuddha Go-Ghritha + Saindhava Lavana in Group B. To compare the effect of Sadyo Snehapana in both groups.Total 60 Shodhananga Snehana Yogya healthy volunteers or diseased were randomly selected for the study by taking consent. ShodhanangaSnehapanaVidhi was followed. The Samyak Snigdha Lakshanas were observed and tabulated. The Results obtained were interpreted - Both the Yogas gave Significant results at p<0.01 in attaining SamyakSnigdhaLakshanas,i.e. Overall: Out of 60 volunteers maximum of 45% volunteers had UttamaYoga, 40% volunteers had MadhyamaYogaLakshanas of SamyakSnehana followed by 15% of AyogaLakshanas.
