 PHARMACODYNAMICS OF BHALLATAKA MODAKA

• Bhallatak Modak depicts strong hepato protection against CCl4 induced liver
injuries in three consequent experimental studies. It brings significant
reduction in liver enzymes towards normalcy. Similarly, it not only arrests
necrosis and degeneration but also brings considerable regeneration of
hepatocytes.
• 1. Haritaki has shown choleretic hepatoprotective, and immune stimulant
properties.
• 2. Jiraka is well known forits antioxidant, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory,
and antimicrobial properties, in addition it is also used in and gastrointestinal
disorders. It has also been reported to be useful in jaundice and as a
hepatoprotective agent.
• 3. Guda is a major constituent of Bhallatak Modak. It is a powerful haematinic
and is valuable in the treatment of haemolytic jaundice and micro lytic
anaemia. The main focus of action of Bhallatak Modak in body is liver.
 ACC. TO RASA’s PROPERTY
•The drug Bhallatak contains Katu, Tikta, kashaya rasa. Bhallatak contains
ushna and tikshan property because of those properties it is kaphvat shamak
and pit vardik.
•The drug Bhallatak modak contains Bhallatak, Haritaki, Jiraka, and Guda
collectively acts as tridoshahara, specially kaphahara.
•It causes agnideepana and pachana due to its katurasa and ushna and
teekshnagunas. It should be used as agnideepana in Kaphaja agnimandya.
•In Grahani, arsha, ajeerna, atisara, udara, gulma and krimis which are all
caused by agnimandya. Bhedana action of Bhallataka helps to overcome
vibandha, anaha, gulma, udara and to reduce the size of yakrit and pleeha
whenever there is their enlargement. It eliminates doshas accumulated in the
pakvashaya.
 PHARMACOKINETICS OF BHALLATAKA MODAK
• 1.Absorption:The bioactive compounds from Haritaki (tannins, flavonoids),
Jiraka (thymol, cuminaldehyde), and Guda (iron, minerals) are absorbed
primarily in the small intestine.The formulation may enhance bile secretion,
aiding fat-soluble component absorption.
• 2. Distribution:The active constituents are likely distributed via the
bloodstream, with a high affinity for liver tissues due to the hepatotropic
nature of the herbs. Guda’s iron content contributes to hemoglobin
synthesis, aiding systemic circulation.
• 3. Metabolism:Metabolized primarily in the liver, where Haritaki’s and
Jiraka’s polyphenols undergo hepatic biotransformation, enhancing their
antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects. Guda provides essential nutrients
supporting liver function and red blood cell production.
• 4. Excretion:Metabolites are excreted through bile and urine.Jiraka’s
antimicrobial and digestive properties may also influence gut microbiota and
fecal excretion.

inflammatory properties, beneficial in respiratory disorders.
• 4. Diuretic & Rejuvenative Actions: Gokshura, Vidarikand, Goghrita, Godugdha
– Act as Rasayana (rejuvenators), nourish tissues, and support kidney function.
• 5. Antimicrobial & Immune-Modulating Actions: Vidanga, Kachura, Vacha –
Exhibit antimicrobial, antiparasitic, and immune-modulatory effects.+
 PHARMACOKINETICS

• 1. Absorption: The bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins,

glycosides, and essential oils, are absorbed in the small intestine. Pippali, Shunthi, and
Saindhav enhance bioavailability by improving digestion and intestinal permeability.
Goghrita (clarified butter) and Godugdha (cow’s milk) act as carriers (Yogavahi),
facilitating better absorption of fat-soluble components.
• 2. Distribution: The herbal constituents reach target organs via plasma proteins and
lipoprotein.
• Hepatotropic herbs (Sudhha Bhallataka, Mulethi, Chitraka, Vidarikand) concentrate in the
liver.
• Diuretics (Gokshura, Rasna) distribute more to the renal system, aiding kidney function.
• Respiratory herbs (Shalparni, Prushnaparni, Kantakari, Brahati) accumulate in lung
tissues, supporting respiratory health.
• 3. Metabolism: Primary metabolism occurs in the liver, where polyphenols, alkaloids, and
saponins undergo enzymatic biotransformation. Some essential oils and alkaloids are
metabolized in the intestines by gut microbiota. Ghee-based components (lipophilic
compounds) undergo slow metabolism, leading to prolonged effects.
• 4. Excretion: Metabolites are eliminated mainly via bile and urine. Water-soluble
metabolites are excreted through the kidneys (urine), while some components are
expelled through the gastrointestinal tract (feces). Respiratory herbs may also be partially
excreted through the lungs (exhalation of volatile oils and aromatic compounds).

 PHARMACODYNAMICS

• Digestive Stimulation: The combination of Haritaki, Vibhitaki, Pippali,

and Maricha stimulates the digestive fire (Agni), ensuring regular bowel
movements. This reduces the chances of constipation, one of the
leading causes of piles, by facilitating smoother stool passage.
• Anti-inflammatory and Astringent Effects: Bhallataka, Amla, and
Haritaki have strong anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce
the swelling and pain associated with hemorrhoids. The astringent
properties of these herbs help to tone the blood vessels and tighten the
rectal tissues, promoting faster healing.
• Detoxification: Ingredients like Gud (jaggery), Amla, Haritaki, and
Vibhitaki play an important role in detoxifying the body. They help
remove toxins (ama) from the digestive system, ensuring smooth
elimination of waste and preventing the formation of hemorrhoids.
• Healing of Hemorrhoidal Tissues: Shuddha Bhallataka, Gud, and Amla
help promote the regeneration of damaged tissues in the hemorrhoidal
region. They reduce bleeding, pain, and irritation caused by piles.
 PHARMACOKINETICS
• Absorption:The formulation is absorbed primarily in the stomach and intestines.
Ginger and Pippali stimulate gastric juices and digestive enzymes, which
promote better absorption of fat-soluble and water-soluble compounds. Amla,
Haritaki, and Vibhitaki contribute to enhancing the bioavailability of the
formulation’s active compounds in the digestive tract.
• Distribution:The ingredients, particularly the bioactive compounds from
Bhallataka, Amla, and Gud, enter the bloodstream and are distributed to target
areas like the rectum and liver. Ginger and Pippali also enhance the circulation
of active compounds to areas where healing is required (such as hemorrhoidal
tissue).
• Metabolism: Haritaki, Amla, and Vibhitaki support the liver's detoxification
pathways, helping process and break down the active compounds. Bhallataka
and Pippali likely undergo transformation in the liver and intestines, facilitating
their biological effects. Herbs with Vata balancing properties such as Haritaki
ensure that the metabolism of the formulation proceeds smoothly without
aggravating digestive imbalances.
• Excretion: The final metabolic products of the formulation are excreted via urine
and feces. The detoxifying and mild laxative effects of Gud (Jaggery), Haritaki,
and Vibhitaki ensure that any accumulated toxins or waste products are
effectively eliminated from the body, supporting the body’s natural
detoxification process. This also helps prevent constipation, which is a major
aggravating factor in piles.

• 1. Absorption:
• Skin Penetration: The oil formulation is applied directly to the affected
area, allowing for the active ingredients to be absorbed through the
skin and into the subcutaneous tissues. The lipid nature of sesame oil
(Til Tail) enhances the permeability of the skin, facilitating the
absorption of both hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds.
• Absorption Mechanism: Active ingredients like Haridra (Turmeric),
Daru Haridra, Chitrak, and Shuddha Bhallataka are absorbed
transdermally, and once they reach the dermal layer, they begin to
exert their pharmacological effects. The oil base helps to carry these
compounds deeper into the tissues by enhancing the solubility of the
herbs in the oil medium.
• Enhancement by Sesame Oil: Til Tail (Sesame Oil) is a natural carrier
and is well-known for its ability to improve the absorption of other
herbs. It acts as an emollient, making the skin more permeable and
allowing the active compounds to reach deeper tissues, including
blood vessels, muscles, and connective tissues, especially around the
wound area.
• 2. Distribution:
• Local Tissue Action: Once absorbed through the skin, the
active ingredients are distributed locally in the tissues around the
wound site. They are primarily concentrated in the affected area,
where they exert their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and
wound-healing effects.
• Blood Circulation: Some ingredients, such as Maricha (Black
Pepper) and Chitrak, help stimulate local blood circulation. This
enhanced circulation facilitates the distribution of the active
compounds to surrounding tissues and ensures that the wound
healing process is supported by improved oxygen and nutrient
delivery to the wound area.
• Lymphatic and Vascular Systems: While the primary action is
local, the absorption of some compounds into the bloodstream
through capillaries near the skin may lead to low-level systemic
distribution, particularly for detoxifying and anti-inflammatory
ingredients like Vidanga and Haridra, which can also work on a
systemic level to reduce body-wide inflammation and toxins.
• 3. Metabolism:
• Local Metabolism: Once absorbed, the active ingredients
in the formulation undergo metabolic processes primarily
within the local tissues, where enzymes and cell receptors
play a role in activating certain compounds. For example,
Curcumin from Haridra (Turmeric) may undergo enzymatic
metabolism within the local tissues, contributing to its anti-
inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
• Hepatic Metabolism: In some cases, after being absorbed
into the bloodstream, ingredients may undergo first-pass
metabolism in the liver, where they are metabolized into
more active or water-soluble forms. However, the primary
therapeutic effect occurs at the site of application, and
systemic metabolism is limited, as the formulation is meant to
work topically.
• 4. Excretion:
• Sweat glands: The compounds may be excreted via
sweat, especially if they are water-soluble.
• Liver and kidneys: If the compounds enter the
bloodstream and undergo liver metabolism, their metabolites
can be excreted through the kidneys in the urine, though this
would be a secondary effect.
• Local Tissue Clearance: In the case of Shuddha Bhallataka
and other detoxifying herbs, their metabolites may be cleared
by the local immune cells or lymphatic drainage in the tissue.

 PHARMACODYNAMICS
• Anti-inflammatory: Most of the ingredients, including Pippali,
Maricha, and Chitraka, reduce inflammation in the skin, alleviating
redness, swelling, and pain associated with Kushta.
• Antimicrobial: Ingredients like Arka, Gunja, and Tuttha, with their
antimicrobial properties, help fight skin infections caused by bacteria,
fungi, or other pathogens.
• Detoxifying: Many of the herbs and salts like Snuhi, Shankha Bhasma,
and Vid Lavana are effective in detoxifying the skin, removing toxins,
and purging the body of impurities that contribute to chronic skin
conditions.
• Wound healing: Bhallataka and other healing herbs promote the
regeneration of damaged skin and assist in the healing of ulcers and
lesions that are commonly seen in Kushta.
• Circulation improvement: Ingredients like Nagar and Pippali enhance
circulation, ensuring that the skin receives adequate nourishment,
which helps in healing and rejuvenation.
• Balancing the Doshas: The combination of these herbs and salts works
to balance the Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas, which are thought to be
involved in the pathogenesis of Kushta.
 PHARMACOKINETICS
• Absorption:
• • Topical Application: When the mask is applied to the skin, the active
compounds from the ingredients must first pass through the stratum
corneum (the outermost layer of skin) to enter deeper skin layers.
• Lipophilic (fat-soluble) Compounds: Some ingredients in the mask,
such as Bhallataka, Chitrak, and Pippali, contain lipophilic compounds that
may be better absorbed through the skin if the mask is left on for a longer
period. Lipids in the formulation (possibly from oils or ghee used in the
preparation) help these fat-soluble compounds penetrate the skin more
effectively.
• Hydrophilic (water-soluble) Compounds: Ingredients like Shankha
Bhasma, Sodium Chlorides (like Saindhava Lavana, Samudra Lavana), Sajjī
Kṣāra, and Yava Kṣāra may be more water-soluble and could have a
localized effect by interacting with skin cells on the surface or in the
superficial dermis (epidermis).
• Enhancers of Absorption: Some ingredients may act as penetration
enhancers, such as Snuhi (Euphorbia), which has a cauterizing effect and
can help in increasing permeability of the skin, making it easier for other
compounds to penetrate. Chitrak (Plumbago zeylanica) also has a role in
stimulating blood circulation, which can enhance the absorption of other
active compounds.
• Distribution:
• • Local Action on Skin: The majority of the active ingredients, such as
Bhallataka, Chitrak, Pippali, and Shankha Bhasma, are likely to act locally
at the site of application, targeting inflammation, skin ulcers, and
infections.
• Anti-inflammatory and Healing: Bhallataka and Chitrak have well-
known anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties, which may
promote the regeneration of affected skin in Kushtha disease. These
compounds will be primarily localized in the area where the mask is
applied, reducing inflammation and encouraging tissue repair.
• Antimicrobial: Ingredients like Pippali (Piper longum), Mṛtyunjaya (a
plant used in traditional formulations), and Nagara (Zingiber officinale)
contribute antibacterial and antifungal properties, which may help to
control infections in the affected skin area.
• Potent Tonic Action: Shankha Bhasma, Saindhava Lavana, and Vidd
Lavaṇa provide mineral toning effects that can rejuvenate the skin by
balancing doshas (imbalances in bodily humors) and enhancing the tissue-
building process at the site of application.
• Circulatory Effects: Ingredients like Pippali and Chitrak can stimulate
local blood circulation, ensuring that nutrients and oxygen reach the
affected skin area for repair and healing.
• Metabolism:
• Topical Metabolism: The active compounds absorbed into the skin
are often metabolized locally in the dermis and epidermis by skin cells
(keratinocytes, fibroblasts). Many of the active compounds in the mask
may undergo local enzymatic transformations or may remain largely in
their active forms within the skin.
• Bhallataka and Chitrak's active principles (such as semecarpic acid,
cardanol) are known to have anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties
and can help to regulate immune responses at the site of the skin
infection or inflammation. These compounds may be metabolized by skin
enzymes, leading to further bioactive metabolites that maintain their anti-
inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.
• Transdermal Absorption: If the compounds penetrate the skin
deeply, some may reach the subcutaneous tissue and may be processed
by the body's metabolic pathways, especially in cases of severe infection
or chronic skin damage. However, metabolism in the liver and systemic
circulation is less likely to play a major role in this formulation unless the
mask is applied in large quantities or for prolonged periods.
• . Excretion:
• Local Excretion: After the active compounds are metabolized
by the skin, they are likely excreted from the site via sweat glands
or sebum glands, especially for fat-soluble compounds like
Bhallataka and Chitrak.
• Systemic Excretion: In cases where some active ingredients
are absorbed into the bloodstream, they would be primarily
processed by the liver, and then excreted via the urinary system or
feces. However, for this topical formulation, significant systemic
absorption is unlikely unless used extensively over large areas of
the body. Most compounds will remain localized at the site of
application and will be excreted locally.
• Duration of Action:
• Short-term effects would include local reduction of
inflammation, pain relief, cooling of the affected skin, and
improvement in ulceration.
• Long-term effects could include skin regeneration and
infection control, as the ingredients like Bhallataka and Chitrak
promote tissue healing and immune regulation in the long run.

 PHARMACODYNAMICS
• Urustambha is a Vatavyadhi (neuromuscular disorder) described in Ayurveda,
characterized by stiffness, heaviness, and numbness in the thighs due to the
accumulation of Kapha and Meda (fat) obstructing Vata movement. It is
considered a Kapha-Meda Avarana (obstruction) disorder leading to impaired
circulation and function of Vata Dosha.
• 1. Kapha-Meda Vilayana (Breakdown of excess Kapha and Fat):
• Bhallataka, Haritaki, Punarnava, and Shunthi have strong Lekhana and
Medohara properties that help reduce the accumulation of Kapha and Meda,
which are the primary factors in Urustambha.
• 2. Srotoshodhana (Clearing Blocked Channels): Devdaru, Guduchi, Punarnava,
and Shunthi facilitate the removal of Avarana (obstruction) in the Srotas
(channels), restoring normal Vata flow and circulation.
• 3. Agnivardhana (Improvement of Digestion and Metabolism):
• Bhallataka, Shunthi, and Haritaki stimulate digestion and improve metabolism,
which prevents further Kapha-Meda accumulation.
• 4. Shothahara (Anti-inflammatory & Edema-reducing Action):-Punarnava,
Guduchi, and Devdaru reduce inflammation and swelling, relieving stiffness
and heaviness in the thighs.
• 5. Balya & Rasayana (Strengthening & Rejuvenation): Dvi Panchamula,
Guduchi, and Haritaki help in rejuvenating tissues and improving muscle
strength, counteracting the weakness caused by Urustambha.
 PHARMACOKINETICS
• 1. Absorption (Aushadha Grahana & Pachana in Ayurveda)
• Shuddh Bhallataka, Shunthi, and Haritaki enhance Agni (digestive fire),
which facilitates better digestion and absorption of active
compounds.Guduchi and Devdaru contain small molecular weight
alkaloids and terpenoids, which are readily absorbed in the
gastrointestinal tract.
• Punarnava and Dvi Panchamula are rich in flavonoids and saponins that
undergo passive absorption in the intestines.
• The bioavailability is enhanced by Ushna (hot potency) and Deepana
(digestive stimulant) properties, which increase gastric motility and
absorption efficiency.
• 2. Distribution (Aushadha Vyapti in Ayurveda)- Lipid-soluble components
(e.g., Bhallataka’s bhilawanols, Devdaru’s sesquiterpenes) are distributed
via the lymphatic system and stored in adipose tissues, helping in
prolonged action against Meda Avarana (fat-based obstruction).Water-
soluble components (e.g., alkaloids in Guduchi and flavonoids in
Punarnava) rapidly enter systemic circulation and distribute to muscle
tissues, reducing inflammation and stiffness. Haritaki and Guduchi contain
tannins and glycosides that target the liver and muscle tissues, aiding
detoxification and rejuvenation.
• 3. Metabolism (Aushadha Paka in Ayurveda)- Primary metabolism
occurs in the liver (Yakrit Paka), where polyphenols, alkaloids, and
terpenoids are broken down into active metabolites. Punarnava’s
rotenoids and flavonoids undergo hepatic biotransformation into
anti-inflammatory and diuretic metabolites.
• Bhallataka and Shunthi stimulate hepatic enzymes, improving fat
metabolism and clearance of excess Meda (lipids).Guduchi and Dvi
Panchamula provide hepatoprotective effects, preventing oxidative
stress during metabolism.
• 4. Excretion (Aushadha Nissarana in Ayurveda)
• Major excretion pathways:
• Renal (urine): Punarnava and Guduchi promote diuresis, clearing
inflammatory mediators and metabolic waste.
• Fecal (stool): Haritaki’s mild laxative action ensures elimination of
undigested toxins (Ama).
• Sweat (Sweda): Ushna Virya herbs like Bhallataka and Shunthi
enhance perspiration, promoting toxin removal through the skin.
