An Experimental Study on a Shwashara (Anti Asthmatic) Ayurvedic Formulation as a Whole & Its Individual Herbs for Treating Cigarette Smoke Induced Asthma in Mice Model
Abstract: A quantitative research method allows us to see the effects of changes in the variables of interest by keeping other relevant variables under control. Experimental studies involve the random assignment of participants into different groups (e. g. experimental, control) in order to determine the causal effect of a certain condition (independent variable) on a certain outcome (dependent variable). The experimental study on the current topic has been done to conduct the following ? a) Acute Toxicity Test of the formulation and herbs b) Cigarette Smoke Induced Asthma in Mice Model c) Dissection, Hematological study and Tissue Collection for Histopathology of Mice. Experimental studies are considered the gold standard in studies because researchers are able to determine causal effects with more confidence than when using any other research method. This study provides the scientific data for the proper establishment of efficacy and potency of the shwashara formulation (bharangi+sunthi+pippali) 1 and also of its individual herbs i. e. bharangi, sunthi and pippali and demonstration of their anti - asthmatic activity in cigarette smoke induced asthma in mice.
