Comparative Spermatogenesis Activity of Eranda Moola (Ricinus Communis) Collected In Different Seasons as per Dravya Samgrahana Kaala: An Experimental Study
Abstract
Introduction: Dravya sangrahana is one of the criteria where different seasons are indicated for collecting different parts of the plants. As per ancient drug collection practice roots are to be collected in Hemanth-Shishira (winter) or Greeshma rutu(summer). Eranda(Ricinus communis) is an important medicinal plant roots of which are particularly indicated as Vrishya (spermatogenic). Hence study has been planned to conduct a comparative spermatogenic activity of Ernadamoola collected in Greeshma rutu and Pravarat rutu and Shishsira ritu. Materials and methods: Roots of Eranda(Ricinus communis) collected during Pravrut Ritu (EMP), Greeshma Ritu (EMG) and Shishira Ritu (EMS) shade dried separately, powdered. Spermatogenic activity study conducted on healthy albino rats divided among five groups. Testosterone was used as standard drug, whereas other three groups received sample collected in three different seasons for a period of 60 days. Next sperm analysis and histopathological study of prostate and seminal vesicle was conducted. Discussion and conclusion: Erandamoola(roots of Ricinus communis) has shown best spermatogenesis activity in experimental animals proving our ancient quotation as Vrishya. Also roots collected in different seasons have shown their difference among activity. Histopathological study of genital organs also shown positive result among spermatogenic activity.
