I NTRODUCTION The human race is experiencing a variety of health problems due to the adverse effects of globalization and urbanization. Plant-based medicines have long formed the bedrock of traditional medical systems in many countries. Because of the existence of phytochemical components, plant-based medicines continue to play a significant role in health care today. Address for correspondence: Dr. Shefali Rana Assistant Professor, Dept. of Dravyaguna Vigyana, Babe Ke Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital, VPO- Daudhar, Moga, Punjab, India. E-mail: riyarana 11094@gmail.com Submission Date: 06/05/2024 Accepted Date: 18/06/2024 Access this article online Quick Response Code Website: www.jaims.in DOI: 10.21760/jaims.9.7.30 They serve a vital role in preventing disease and promoting good health [2] According to the World Health Organization, herbal medicines are used by 80% of people globally for basic health care. Around 21,000 plant species have the potential to be utilized as medicinal plants, according to the WHO. Plant pharmaceuticals are projected to account for up to 25% of total drugs in industrialized nations like the United States, while they account for up to 80% in fastdeveloping countries like India and China. Herbs, according to ancient experts, are only remedies to a variety of health-related issues and disorders [3] In Classical literature, Stanya is mentioned as an Upadhatu of Rasa Dhatu , [4] which is beneficial to the physiological and psychological development of newborns as Stanya promotes longevity and nourishment [5] This necessitates the need for a highquality Stanya . Stanyasodhana Gana is a group of medicinal plants classified as Galacto-purifiers. The name is derived from two words: " Stanya ," which means "Breast milk," and " Shodhana ," which means A B S T R A C T Stanya is a major source of nourishment for infants up to the age of one year, according to Ayurvedic texts . Stanya has all the required nutrients for a baby's growth and development. As a result, Stanyapana (breastfeeding) is needed from the beginning of a newborn's life. Stanya is beneficial not only for the baby's growth and development but also to the immune system, which aids in the battle against various ailments. However, if vitiated by Doshas , it can be the underlying cause of a variety of illnesses in both the mother and the child. So, the vitiated Stanya must be managed. In ‘ Dravyasmgrahaniya Adhyaya’ of Sutrasthana , Acharya Sushruta discussed 37 Ganas. Drugs in these Ganas are gathered so that they almost have common pharmacodynamic properties and similar pharmacological actions. Out of 37 Ganas, Acharya Sushruta specifically mentioned Stanyashodhana property under three Ganas : Haridradi Gana , Vachadi Gana , and Mustadi Gana [1] Hence, the purpose of this study is to compile, analyze, and justify the rationale for selecting these Ganas for their Stanyashodhana properties. Key words: Stanyashodhana, Stanya, Stanyadushti, Haridradi Gana, Vachadi Gana, Mustadi Gana.

Shefali Rana et al. A conceptual study of Vachadi Gana, Haridradi Gana and Mustadi Gana ISSN: 2456-3110 REVIEW ARTICLE July 2024 Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences | July 2024 | Vol. 9 | Issue 7 204 Doshas (Mainly Kapha Dosha ). The aggravated Doshas are then incorporated into the Rasa Dhatu , further vitiating the Stanya , which is the Rasa Dhatu's Upadhatu . A Stanya will be called Dushita (Impure) if it has aberrant color, smell, taste, or touch, as well as other abnormal Gunas . This Stanya is incapable of providing nutrition and good health to the infant. This condition is known as Stanya Dushti [42] As a result, we require drugs that can cleanse the impurity and enhance the quality of Stanya (breastmilk). On analyzing the result, it is clear that there is Pradhanata of Tikta Rasa , Laghu - Ruksha Guna , Ushna Virya , and Katu Vipaka. As Tikta Rasa has Akash Mahabhuta Pradhanta , which might be responsible for providing space (or passage) for obstructed channels ( Strotoavrodha ). Whereas the presence of Laghu and Ruksha Gunas , Katu Vipaka , and Ushna Viryas , aid in the Samyak Pachana (Absorption) of Dosha mainly Kapha Dosha , which may be one of the causes of Strotoavrodha This explains that these pharmacodynamics properties have two main pharmacological actions, one is Strotosudhi and the second is Samayka Panchna of Dosha , which will clean the blocked channels and bring back the Dosha to their normal state, resulting in the restoration of the vitiated Rasadhatu and thus in the management of Stanyadushti . Other than the Stanyashodhana property, Acharya Sushruta also gives other concrete indications for all these three Ganas . Vachadi and Haridradi Gana should be used in the case of Amatisara (A condition in which Ama Dosaha has developed excessively in the body), as these drugs especially act as Amapachaka . Whereas in the case of Shleshma Vridhi and Yonidosha , the Mustadi Gana should be chosen since the drugs in this Gana have mainly Kapha-Dosha-Hara properties, which also aid in the management of Yonidosha . As per Modern science view According to recent research studies, these drugs also possess Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, Immunomodulator, Anti-inflammatory, and Analgesic effects. Antimicrobial activity helps to manage breastrelated diseases like mastitis, and breast abscess in the mother and lowers the incidence of developing various infections in infants. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects will protect the mother from inflammatory damage and subside the pain if occur. The antioxidant effect reduces oxidative damage at the cellular level. Whereas the Immunomodulatory effect boosts maternal immunity. CONCLUSION Breast milk is regarded as an important source of energy for the health and development of infants. Any kind of impurity leads to Stanyadushti. Consumption of Dushita Stanya causes poor growth and development, as well as a weakened immune system. As a result, the fundamental cause must be addressed. The overall goal of this study is to give a mutual understanding of the Vachadi , Haridradi , and Mustadi Ganas' Stanyashondhana property. As all 27 drugs within the mentioned 3 Gana having Pradhanata of Tikta Rasa , along with Laghu - Ruksha guna , Ushna Virya , and Katu Vipaka help to cleanse the channels and Pachana of Dosha lead to Stanyashuddhi . These drugs also possess Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, Immunomodulator, Antiinflammatory, and analgesic effects which have a significant role in enhancing the quality of breast milk and reducing its impurities. This collective knowledge of drugs will not only assist physicians in selecting appropriate drugs, either alone or in combination, to enhance the qualities of Stanya but will also motivate researchers to conduct further studies to identify their mechanism of action and efficacy in Stanya Dushti .
