Verständnis von Prameha und dessen Management mit Vanga (Tin) Bhasma

The branch of Ayurveda that deals with the pharmaceutical preparation of Rasaushdhis is known as Rasa-Shastra (Alchemy). Rasa-Chikitsa is considered the most effective and time-saving therapy. The preparations used in Rasa-Chikitsa are preferred for oral administration due to their palatability compared to other formulations. Furthermore, these preparations have the advantage of being effective in lower doses than herbal preparations. In Rasa-Shastra, metals and minerals are also referred to as Dhatus and Updhatus due to their specific roles in the biological system, meaning they can maintain body tissues by supplementing essential elements to the tissues, the deficiency of which causes many diseases in the body. Prameha is a metabolic disorder and is primarily diagnosed through signs and symptoms related to Mutra (urine). Unfavorable dietary habits, a sedentary lifestyle, stress, and genetic predisposition are some of the key etiological factors of Prameha. Vanga Bhasma is attributed with a high potential for healing Prameha. This book provides a detailed description of the Prameha disease and its treatment, with a special focus on Vanga Bhasma.
