    ANJANA in Ayurveda: Dr. Amit Mane

    Uploaded by

    DrVikas
    Anjana has been used in Ayurveda since ancient times, particularly for eye diseases and cosmetic purposes. However, there is ongoing controversy around the identification and composition of some types of Anjana. While Anjana can be beneficial, its use internally requires caution. Modern scientific analysis may help resolve debates, but traditional usage concentrating on proper application remains most important.

    CONTROVERSY
    • Rasanjana:-
    1. On the basis of scintific analysis many author
    told rasanjana is bhramaka.
    2. According to Prof. D.A.Kulakarni and Dr.
    Vaman Desai Yellow oxide of Mercury is
    Rasanjana. Beacause if we see the synonyms
    of Rasanjana, all are related with Parada. Like
    Rasagraja, Rasodbhava,Rasagarbha,etc
    Contd….
    3. According to Yadavaji Maharaj, rasanjana is
    Darvikwath ghana. Beacause in rasashastra
    there are many drugs related with herbal and
    animal origin. Like kankushtha,
    Kampillak,Moti, Praval,etc. yellow oxide of
    Mercury is for Bahyaprayoga. But in Chraka
    samhita ref is for abhyantara prayoga. That is
    Daruharidra kwath.
    Contd….
    4. At the time of Dalhana, some acharya
    consider Rasanjana is Rasout or Krishna
    pashan dhatu dravya. And also consider
    rasanjana is paryaya os Strotonjana.
    Contd….
    • Pushpanjana controversy:-
    1. Some author consider it is Zinc oxide which is
    white in colour.
    2. Some consider it is Antimony oxide SB2O3
    3. According to Ayurveda Prakash it is Ritikitta
    4. R.R.S. says according to Pushpanjana name
    may be it is extact of flower.
    Contd….
    5. It is nector or extract of flower which is
    available in Kashmir. It is called Kashmir
    Madhu.
    6. According to Atreya samhita it is extract of
    Kamal pushpa. It is called Padma madhu.
    7. Pushpa kasisa is also consider pushpanjana.
    Beacause Pushpa kasisa synonyms are nayan
    aushadha, netraaushadha etc.
    Contd….
    8. Acc to Ayu Pra. It is Ritikitta. Riti means Pittala
    ( Brass).it is alloy of Copper and Zinc.
    9. The roasted Sphatika ( Alum ) mens Sphatika
    laja is also consider as Pushpanjana.
    Contd….
    • However it is difficult to identify singla
    material is Pushpanjana. If nector or extract of
    flower is exluded, though it is not mineral then
    pushpanjana could be either dehydrated
    ferrous sulphate, dehydrated alum or may be
    zinc oxide.
    COMPLICATIONS
    • Mostly it is safe to use
    • But there are some ref to use internally also
    • Stotonjana is a Khanija of Naga dhatu. So it
    acts like Grahi. If we take continous sevana of
    it, then it sticks in to intestines.
    • It results in to uterine contraction and overian
    contraction in pregnant ladies.
