Abstract:

Several Indian intellectual traditions, including Buddhism, Jainism, and the Brahmanical systems of Vedanta, Sankhya, and especially Vaisesika, regularly utilise the term “dravya” in their philosophical and religious texts. There have been disagreements on the precise definition of the term dravya, which is usually translated as “substance,” as well as its historical development and meanings. Even the translation of dravya as “substance” raises questions because dravya isn’t necessarily thought of in terms of immutability, but substance is understood to be an idea that is. The idea of dravya h

Abstract:

Vipaka is a unique concept of Ayurveda. It is the post digestive effect of any ingested substance. These can be in either of the two forms: Ahara Dravya (food) or Aushadh Dravya (medicine). Once the digestion of these substances takes place in the gastro-intestinal tract, it is metabolized and transformed into an absorbable form which is called Vipaka. In general understanding Vipaka is the final bio-transformation of digested food/drug. The term “Vi” (of Vipak) is ‘Vishishta’ means specific or special, and “Paka” refers to digestion or the function of Agni (digestive power or biological power

Abstract:

Ayurveda is the science of life that focusses on both prevention and cure of diseases. Its wisdom is rooted in various theories and principles, among which Samanya-Vishesha Siddhanta is fundamental. Samanya refers to similarity, while Vishesha denotes dissimilarity; by applying this principle, Ayurveda effectively cures many ailments through the balance of similar and opposing qualities. Some factors deficient in body corrected by substituting with substances similar in character (Samanya). Some factors excess in body, reduced by supplying dissimilar substance [Vishesha]. Thus, specific Dravya

A simple electrochemical determination of surface-active substances by using time-dependent variation of the capacitive current in a.c. voltammetry at the HMDE is described. Surface-active substances were accumulated by stirring solution at the deposition potential of −0.6 V versus Ag/AgCl (sat. NaCl). The capacitive current was recorded for different deposition times in the range 0–120 s, wherefrom the linear calibration plot is constructed. The proposed method was verified for model surfactant TritonX-100 in the concentration range 0.02–0.25 mg/L and for humic acid in the concentration range
