Application of Dhoopan Karma in present scenario- a review
Keywords:
antibacterial, Ayurveda, Dhoopana, disinfectant, fumigationAbstract
We are surrounded by billions of microorganism. Most of them are not harmful, or are opportunistic which may attack in hosts and children. They may prove harmful in neonatal wards or labour room. Thus proper disinfection and sterilisation is always a major concern especially in neonatal wards. The bacterial flora differ from place to place and with time, which has developed resistance to modern disinfectant procedures. Ayurveda has provided an elaborated explanation of many herbal drugs which may prove to be safe, effective, and lucrative in present settings. In the present study five such drugs which are explained in Kashyapa Samhita for Dhoopana karma namely Nimb, Guggul, Sarshapa, Nirgundi, and have been studied for their anti-bacterial and disinfectant properties. All drugs have been found to be effective and safe in neonatal wards.
