STATEMENT OF INVENTION
According to this invention there is provided a novel herbal composition effective against Rheumatoid Arthritis comprising Zanjabeel (Zingibar officinale Rose.) in an amount of 90-125mg, Suranjan Sheerin (Clochicum) in an amount of 180-225 mg, Filfil Siyah (Piper nigrum Linn.) in an amount of 90-125 mg and Asgand (Withania somnifera Dunal) in an amount of 90-125 mg.
Further according to this invention there is provided A process for preparation of a novel herbal composition effective against Rheumatoid Arthritis comprising steps of:- - preparation of aqueous extracts of Zanjabeel, Powdering of dry rhizome of suranjan, -Preparation of aqueous extract of filfil siyah and Asgand, -mixing of the above thus obtained followed by drying.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to this invention there is provided a herbal composition effective against rheumatoid arthritis comprising:
Ingredients
1. Zanjabeel (Zingibar officinale Rose.)
2. Suranjan Sheerin (Clochicum)
3. Filfil Siyah (Piper nigrum Linn.)
4. Asgand (Withania somnifera Dunal)
Though not limited thereto, the composition comprises:
1. Zanjabeel (Zingibar officinale Rose.) 90.00-125.00 mg
2. Suranjan Sheerin (Clochicum) 180.00-225.00 mg.
3. Filfil Siyah (Piper nigrum Linn.) 90.00.-125.00 mg.
4. Asgand (Withania somnifera Dunal) 90.00-125.00 mg.
To every 500 mg of the preparation.
The process comprises:
1. Zanjabeel being crushed and aqueous extracts is obtained using
minimum quantity of purified water (A).
2. Cleaned, dried rhizome of Suranjan is finely powdered (B), which is
sieved through for example 100 mesh size.
3. Coarse powder of Filfil Siyah and Asgand are separately prepared
followed by preparation of concentrated aqueous extract of the same
(c). Concentrate of aqueous extract is upto the formation of viscous
mass. Normally total mass comes to about 25 to 35% of the total
herbs.
4. All the three viz. A, B, C are thoroughly mixed and dried in fluid bed
drier at 90-105° C and for 3-4 hrs by mixing diluents and
preservative. Diluent used is for example Light Kaolin in the
quantity between 25 to 30% and preservative is for example Sod.
Benzoate in the concentrate 0.1 to 0.15%.
5. Dried granules so obtained are compressed to get 500 mg tablets,
which are further subjected to sugar coating.
ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is superior than the drugs available in the market because of the following:
1. It is more effective.
2. Its effect lasts for more duration.
3. It is easy to administer and cheaper.
