Neutraceuticals in Ayurveda with special reference to Avaleha Kalpana
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of Neutraceuticals has drastically risen in recent years. Dr Stephan De Felice coined the term Neutraceuticals from "nutrition" and "pharmaceutical" in 1989. Related terms are "functional food" and "dietary supplement". In Ayurvedic pharmaceutics there are some secondary preparations like Avaleha Kalpana (Medicated semisolid preparation), Asavarista Kalpana (fermented preparation), Sneha Kalpana (Medicated fatty preparation), Ksheerapaka Kalpana (Medicated milk preparation) etc. which can be correlated with Neutraceuticals. In this paper "Neutraceuticals" and "Avaleha Kalpana" have been correlated and discussed.
