Brief Summary  

The Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) is an autonomous body under the Department of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga &Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy), Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India. CCRAS is an apex body in India 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.

Vyoshadi Guggulu is a poly herbal preparation containing Sunthi (Zingiber officinale), Marica (Piper nigrum), Pippali (Piper longum), Citraka (Plumbago zeylanica), Musta (Cyperus rotundus), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Bibhitaka (Terminalia belerica), Amlaki (Emblica officinalis), Vidanga (Embelia ribes) and Guggulu (Commiphora wightii).

Haritaki Churna consists of dried pericarp of mature fruits of Harada (Terminalia chebula).

The present study entitled “Clinical Evaluation of Vyoshadi Guggulu and Haritaki Churna in the Management of Dyslipidemia” is being undertaken in three peripheral institutes of the CCRAS. A similar study has been registered (Reg No CTRI/2012/01/002374) in the Clinical Trials Registry, India (CTRI) as an activity under the ACT project.

The cumulative evidence generated as an activity under the ACT project as well as IMR programme is expected to scientifically substantiate the claims regarding clinical efficacy and safety of these classical Ayurvedic formulations.
