Abstract

Balarishtam is an Ayurvedic nerve tonic. The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of the medicine to understand the biomolecules present and their possible nerve related activity. Balarishtam was subjected to GC MS analysis. The presence of some important molecules such as Eucalyptol, 2-Isopropoxyethylamine, p-menth-1-en-8-ol, Eugenol, N-Acetyl-. alpha.-methyl-4-ethynyl-2-thiazolemethanamine etc. has given a clue towards the nerve tonic effect of Balarishtam. Thus this study could lead to the identification of marker biomolecules which could help in validation of this drug as a nerve tonic.
