6) Brief resume of the intended work

6.1 Need for the study:

Rasashastra is a branch of Ayurveda,which dealswith the metals, minerals,precious stones and their processing. Parada is considered as the supreme among all metals and minerals. Among the different processes of Parada, Moorchana is a process by which Parada attain “Vyadhi nashaka” property1. Rasaparpati is saagni, sagandha moorchitha parada kalpana, mainly indicated in diseases like Grahani, Atisara, Arshas, Kamala, Pandu2.According to Ayurveda, Panduis a disease associated with Rakthalpatha3 and Pandutha of body4. Pandu roga has similarity with that of Anaemia in all respects such as etiological factors , signs symptoms andtherapeutics.

Anemia which means reduction in red blood cell count ,haemoglobin content and packed cell volume. It denotes shortage of rich blood cells and coloring matter called hemoglobin5.

The agents required in the formation of blood and used for the treatment of Anemia’s are called haematinics.

A standard operative procedure along with, statistical analysis and scientific data of the raw material to the finished product is necessary for the safe and efficacious use of the drug.

So considering the above factors the study is planned in order to evaluate the haematenic actionof Rasaparpati by pharmaceutico analytical and experimental study.

3)Reticulocyte count
11) / Statistical test / ANOVAand Unpaired ‘t’ test

7.3) Dose the study require any investigation or Intervention to be conducted on patients or

other humans or animals? If so please describe briefly.
