About Divya Ayurveda Products (Swami Ramdev Patanjali Yoga)
Divya
Yog Mandir (Trust), started “Brahamkalp Chikitsalaya” at Kripalu Bagh
Ashram, Kankhal in 1995 where patients suffering from various diseases
were cured using Ayurvedic medicines and practices of Yoga. Need was
felt to provide quality Ayurvedic medicines to the patients to seek
optimum results as results of Ayurvedic treatment are directly
proportional to the quality of prepared medicines. Hence a small scale
manufacturing unit of Ayurvedic medicines was established in the campus
of Kripalu Bagh Ashram, Kankhal. This was the beginning of Divya
Aushadhi Nirmanshala (Divya Pharmacy), which was totally based on
traditional methods.
Divya
Pharmacy has had the exalted vision to bring Ayurveda to society in a
contemporary form and to unravel the mystery behind this haloed and
revered, Indian system of medicine by exploring and selecting indigenous
herbs, ancient Ayurvedic literatures and subjecting the formulations to
modern pharmacological, toxicological safety tests and clinical trials
to create new drugs and therapies.
Divya
Pharmacy tries that medicines should possibly be available to common
man at the minimum cost price. In the year 2002-03, modernization of the
pharmacy has been done. A new expanded unit of the pharmacy has been
established well equipped with machines based on modern techniques.
PLC
controlled herbal extraction plant commissioned in the pharmacy is used
for extracting from the various parts of the medicinal plant like the
leaves, The salient feature of this plant is the production of medicine
using latest SCADA technology under controlled environmental conditions
of temperature and pressure. The extract concentration is achieved under
vacuum drying preserving the maximum valued contents of the herbs.
Quality
of the medicines so produced is of the highest level. This unit has the
capacity of extracting from 10,000 kgs. of raw herbs. The desired fluid
component is added to this extract in the process of making the
medicines.
For
the manufacturing processes in Divya Pharmacy automatic high speed
spray drier unit, for quick liquification a fluid wed processor, tablet
compressing device with the capacity for preparing one lac tablet per
hour, high speed auto-coater for coating the tablets, high speed
mixer-grinder, fluid wed driers and cleaning, crossing & pulverizing
units have been established.
In
the modern packing section of Divya Pharmacy PLC controlled packing
equipment having the capacity of 300 volts per minute with automatic
blister packing equipment have been installed. A utility center has been
set up in this production unit which has two 500 KVA generators,
softners & cooling towers including boilers & air compressors
having the capacity to produce 300 ton steam.
As
a result of this Divya Pharmacy has become the first medicine
manufacturing unit of Uttarakhand to get ISO-9001 and WHO-GMP
certifications. In the Pharmacy the international standards like Good
Manufacturing Practices(GMP), Good Packaging Practices(GPP), Good
Agricultural Practices(GAP) and Good Harvesting Practices(GHP) are being
strictly followed.
Divya
Pharmacy’s R & D department is dedicated to product development,
quality control and standardization. Divya Pharmacy has started a
demanding work full of responsibility and initiated a revolutionary
change by making three stage standardization & clinical testing as
the basis in the field of the manufacturing of ayurvedic medicines:
1. Quality Control & Quality Assessment.
2. Toxicological Study-Animal Trial.
3. Clinical Trial.
For Quality Control and Quality Testing the following three steps are followed :
1. For Raw Material
2. For extracts/ Bhasmas at different stages
3. For final product
1.
Quality Control and Quality Testing For Raw Material: The raw material
to be used in production of medicines are used only after they have been
tested for their purity. Quality control of the raw material to be used
for preparation of the medicines is a difficulty task as there are
varieties of the herbs, a lot depends on their place of procurement, it
also depends on the season in which they have been collected. To carry
out this work appropriately & in an effective manner, a herb
research department has been established in which efficient, trained
scientists and research personnel from the fields of Botany, Pharmacy,
plants, microbes, chemistry, microbiology & ayurveda have been
employed.
In this Department standards relating Botanical & Mineral
Identification, Adulteration,the knowledge about the mixture of the
representative ingredients and appropriate amountof the ingredients for
the manufacturing of the medicines is being adopted, so that the quality
of medicines in every batch remains same.
1. Determination of foreign matter or adulterants
2. Morphological Study
3. R.D.
4. Solubility in different solvents like water, alcohol, ether etc.
5. Ash value
6. Moisture content
7. Oil contents
8. Bulk density of raw material
9. Comparative Chromatographic Study by TLC & HPTLC
10. ORD-Optical Rotary Diahroism-Polarography
11. X-Ray Photo Electron Spectroscopy
12. U.V. Photo Electron Spectroscopy
To
carry out these tasks a laboratory (QA & QC Laboratory) has been
constructed which has the most modern equipments like Oven, Microwave
Oven, Moisture Balance, Bulk Density Apparatus, Microscope, Computerised
Microscope, Polarimeter, Extraction, Apparatus, TLC, High Profile Thin
Layer Chromatography (HPTLC). At present Botany, Chemistry and
Microbiology departments are working under this.
2. Quality
Control and Quality testing for Extracts/ Bhasmas at different stages:
For extraction of extracts in the medicine production unit the most
modern SCADA controlled extraction unit has been set up. For properly
maintaining quality control of the various extracts at different stages
of extraction, the following standards are absolutely taken care of :
1. Measurement of the Solid Content
2. Measurement of Ph value
3. Study of the comparative TLC and HPTLC tests
4. Chemical analysis
5. Study of the science of metal formation, etc.
3.
Quality Control and Quality testing for final products: Various
processes are followed for quality control and standardisation of the
final products like Choorna, Vati, Bhasm etc.
1. Identity Test
Physical Test
Quantity of Medicine
Molecular Weight
Spectrum of Medicine
X-ray diffraction of medicine
Comparative Chromatography
TLC & HPTLC
2. Measurement of set Physical parameters
Rapid dissolvement
Moisture content
Ash value
Solubility in different solvents like water, alcohol, either etc.
3. Assay
4. Microbiological Test
In
this way, by giving a new form to the ayurvedic medicines, a new step
has beeninitiated in the direction of quality control and
standardization, by which ayurveda isclearly bound to affect globally
and make a mark. This will not be an effort only for thebenefit of India
but for whole world and in the time to come it will make the
medicaltreatment available for everyone. As the ancient sages were well
versed with theknowledge of ayurveda and there has been refinement of
the knowledge from time totime by the learned in the field, in the same
way Divya Pharmacy is trying to bringrefinement to the knowledge of
ayurveda.At Divya Pharmacy the formulations of rasrasayan vati, gugullu,
choorna, avaleha, ghansatva, kwath, ghrita, taila, mandoor, lauh,
parpati, pishti, aasav, arishta etc. are pure, of high quality and are
prepared strictly according to the classical treatise. Divya Pharmacy
puts in all the efforts to make the medicines pure and rich in quality.
