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  classical  Ayurvedic  formulations,multicentre clinical trials have been initiated in peripheral institutes of the Council as an activity under the Intra Mural Clinical Research (IMR) programme.

Nisha Katakadi Kashaya is a poly herbal preparation containing: Nisha(Curcuma longa),Kataka(Strychnos potatorum),Dhatri(Emblica officinalis),Lodhra(Symplocus racemosa),Paranti(Ixora coccinea),Bhadraka(Aerva lanata),Meharimula(Salacia reticulate),Ushira(Veitivera zizanoides).

Yashada Bhasma is calcined preparation of Zinc.

The present study entitled â€œClinical Evaluation of Nisha Katakadi Kashaya and Yashada Bhasma in the Management of Type II Diabetes Mellitus” is being undertaken in four peripheral institutes of the CCRAS.

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