Assessment of relative Salty taste of Unani drugs by serial dilution method and its relation with Mizaj and Pharmacological action

Introduction: Mizaj-e-Advia (Temperament of drug) is the central concept for drug action in traditional Unani medicine. Mizaj-e- Advia determined by different methods, them Qiyas (Analogy) and Tajriba (Experimentation) are conventional one. applied to confirm drugs undertaken comparison physico-chemical properties substances with a known comparator drug. Organoleptic characters i.e.colour, taste, smell, weight, texture, etc., most important determinants predict humans. Taste considered as one strongest determinant assessment Advia. Since, they very subjective indicators, so there need assess an objective technique. The present study attempted evaluate relative saltiness salty taste. Methodology: taste relation standard prescribed system Medicine i.e., Namak Ta’am (Sodium chloride, NaCl) was assessed serial dilution method. value has been expressed ratio respect NaCl. Darjate- Mizaj (grades temperament) various salt tasting recorded from classical literature their correlation coefficient calculated. Results: A positive moderate observed between Darjat-e-Mizaj values observation data employed that variation detection limit among drugs. Naushadar (Ammonium Chloride) have greater tendency retain its value, Namak-e-Sanbhar (Impure Sodium least Bangladesh Journal Medical Science Vol. 22 No. 01 January’23 Page : 163-170
