ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is a time-tested science. It is based on universal principles of nature, in ancient times it is mainly flourished through the herbal drugs but later the drugs failed to conquer the difficult disease conditions. Hence humans started searching for alternate natural resources. In this search a separate discipline was emerged oriented towards use of metals, minerals, and animal and plant products, designated as Rasa Shastra. Later, it flourished and superseded the herbal medicines. In the classics they mention that one can make his own drug by using his knowledge for any disease condition. That’s why here new drug Shiladhatri yoga (Kalpit) is formed for use in the treatment of Diabetes.
