Love Changes Everything

  • Across the street, Mai Munashe and her other friends from around the block had already gathered on her verandah to see what was going on.  Chido could tell from the way they were fidgeting and laughing out loud, high-fiving each other in the typical way that the women of their community did, that they were itching to introduce themselves and poke their noses into the neighbour’s business.  She felt sorry for them: women her mother’s age who had nothing better to do than to make the goings-on of the neighbourhood their business. They were literally the community’s own neighbourhood watch organization. This was the trouble with living in the high-density suburbs: everybody knew everybody’s business. Everybody made it their responsibility to know everything about your life. Privacy was a foreign concept.

Description

Kashayams are the most widely used dosage forms in the entirety of Ayurveda predominantly in South India. Kashayam represents the aqueous extract of herbs. Herbs of different properties are taken along with enough quantities of water and boiled in low heat helping the active ingredients in the herbs to get transferred into the water. Most of the herbs used in this dosage forms have active ingredients that are hydrophilic in nature. During the earlier days herbs as such were given to patients by doctors and they were asked to prepare & consume the kashayams at home. We at AVN still believe that that is the best way of prescribing a kashayam but not everyone has the liberty ofrtime to prepare and consume kashayam and hence we believe that AVN’s Kashayams is the next best option. We at AVN have innovated this dosage form, by making them more concentrated thereby reducing the quantities of preservatives used.

Description

Another unique dosage form seen only in the science of Ayurveda is tailams & grithams. Tailams and grithams are formulations where herbs extracted in an aqueous medium is further processed with lipids like animal fat (grithams) or Vegetable oils from different sources (Tailams) which are then used for internal consumption or external application. It is believed that the herbal actives from the aqueous extract when processed with the lipids assume a micellar or lipophilic form, thereby enhancing various pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the formulation. Tailams and Grithams form an especially important part in an Ayurvedic practitioners’ prescriptions.

We at AVN have pioneered and mastered the technique of manufacturing and concentrating these tailams and grithams & have started the process of encapsulating them for better patient compliance.

Description

AVN Ayurveda Formulations prides itself in being the pioneer in successfully developing and commercialising Kashayam tablets in the Ayurvedic formulation industry. The thought process behind the creation of Kashayam tablets was to improve palatability of kashayams which were extremely hard to consume. Several attempts were made at creation of the Kashayam tablet & finally a manufacturing process involving the proprietary LTHE method pioneered at AVN was used to create tablets out of Kashayams which were better than kashayams in terms of bioavailability, palatability and patient compliance. 2 tablets of kashayam tablet is equivalent to one dose of Kashayam. It was established and demonstrated that the efficacy and safety of Kashayam tablets were like kashayams and hence it has now become the preferred dosage form for prescription of kashayams. We at AVN are in the process of converting all the kashayams into tablets and now have done the same for over 30 kashayams.

Description

Gulikas are one of the solid oral dosage forms mentioned in the classics of Ayurveda. They are usually prepared by doing bhavana of a liquid on a set of finely powdered drugs until they can be rolled into pills of different sizes. The pills thus produced usually have poor disintegration, dissolution and bioavailability. AVN Ayurveda with its expertise in creation of Kashayam tablets used similar techniques in converting gulikas into modern day tablets with particularly good disintegration and dissolution profiles without losing out on the efficacy and safety. Furthermore “Double Strength” tablets were developed and launched using the same technique where in double the dose was incorporated in one tablet ensuring better patient compliance.

Description

They are fermented formulations mentioned only in the science of Ayurveda. Yeast or any such activator is added to a decoction of herbs (Arishtam) or just herbs mixed with water (Asavam) and left for fermentation in wooden or stainless-steel barrels until fermentation happens under controlled pressure and temperature. Arishtams are a quite common dosage form in Ayurveda and is used by almost all Ayurvedic practitioners. It is believed that after fermentation since there are R-OH groups in the formulation the medicines tend to cross the blood brain barrier easily. Hence a few formulations used in the treatment of psychological disorders is in the form of asavas and arishtams.
