Materia medica of Bala Dwaya - A Literary Review ISSN: 2456-3110 REVIEW ARTICLE July-Aug 2018 Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences | July - Aug 2018 | Vol. 3 | Issue 4 178 Sida cordifolia Linn. is the widely used source of Bala in northen parts of India while physicians of Kerala have adopted Sida rhombifolia Linn. S.retusa (Linn) Borss. (Syn S. rhombifolia var. retusa (Linn) Mast; Family: Malvaceae) as Bala. The drugs may commonly adulterate with Sida rhombifolia and Sida spinosa species. Chemial constituents [37] Root: C 28 phyto-ecdysones viz, sidasterone B, carboxylated tryptamines, quinazoline alkaloids, symathomimetic amines, bête-phenethylamine, beta - sitosterol, acylstery glycosidesitoindoside, ephedrine, S-(+)- Nb-methyl tryptophan methylester, hypaphorine, vasicinone, vascicine, vasicinol, choline, betaine, phytosterol, resin acids. Seed: Proteins, steroids, resin, resin acid, mucin, phenethylamine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, fatty oil, potassium nitrate, linoleic acid, malvalic acid, sterculic acid and coronaric acid. Aerial parts: Palmitic, stearic, hexacosanoic acids, beta - sitosterol. Controversial aspect of Bala [38] In Kerala, fresh bundles of green Bala plants are sold in the market. It is widely used in Kerala. Not a single pharmacy may be there, which may not be using Bala . Ghee, Taila and other preparations are made from Bala . But their Bala is Sida retusa Linn, some what different from ours. Vatyalaka is a synonym of Bala and this word has been as derived as it is used for sweeping purposes. Some plants are tied together and made into a sweep. Sida cordifolia Linn. contains an alkaloid Ephedrine; other species do not contain ephedrine. So Sida cordifolia Linn. should be used for medication. Looking to all this Bala is not at all controversial. Still, however, in some parts of India Atibala is known as Bala . This should be corrected. Another species A. theophrastii Mdic. ( A. avicennae Gaertn) is also used by some as Atibala because of their similarity in appearance. It is mainly used for nerve disorders like paralysis and Vata prominent disorders. It is also used as the adulterant of Bala . CONCLUSION The literary review reveals that all the types of Bala are having Madhura Rasa Snigdha Guna, Sheeta Veerya. So the other species can be taken into consideration for various therapeutic applications. As both Bala Dwaya possesses Vatashamaka property and same chemical composition, can also be used vice-versa REFERENCES 1 Bhavamishra, Bhavaprakasha Nighantu, commentary by Dr.Chunekar K.C., Edited by Dr.Panday G.S.
