CCRAS is an apex body in for the formulation, co-ordination, development and promotion of research on scientific lines in the Ayurveda system of medicine. Aimed at generating evidence for the scientific validation of the clinical efficacy and safety of twenty five classical Ayurvedic formulations, multicentre clinical trials have been initiated in sixteen disease areas across nineteen peripheral institutes of the Council as an activity under the Intra Mural Clinical Research (IMR) program. This initiative is basically a supplement to the similar venture being worked out as an activity under the Ayurveda Clinical Trials (A.C.T.) project of the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia Committee (APC) wherein, clinical trials on eighteen disease conditions are underway in eight post graduate Ayurveda colleges across the country. Ashokarishta is a fermented liquid Ayurvedic formulation containing Ashoka (Saraca asoca), Dhataki (Woodfordia fruticosa), Jiraka (Cuminum cyminum), Musta (Cyperus rotundus), Shunthi (Zingiber officinale), Daruharidra (Berberis aristata), Utpala (Nymphaea stellata), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Bibhitaka (Terminalia belerica), Amlaki (Emblica officinalis), Amrasthi (Mangifera indica), Jiraka (Cuminum cyminum), Vasa (Adhota vasica), Chandana Sveta (Santalum album) and Guda. Ashwagandha Churna is containing air dried mature root of Withania somnifera. Pravala Pishti is consisting of air dried powder of praval bhasma with the help of Rose water. The present study entitled Clinical Evaluation of Ashokarishta, Ashwagandha Churna and Pravala Pishti in the Management of Menopausal Syndrome is being undertaken in three peripheral institutes of the CCRAS. The cumulative evidence generated as an activity under the ACT project as well as the IMR programme is expected to scientifically substantiate the claims regarding clinical efficacy and safety of these classical Ayurvedic formulations. page 5 / 5
