Dose is a very important factor in any of the
Panchakarma procedures to get optimum efficacy of the therapy. Nasya is the
major procedure in Panchakarma. Bindu is the unit of measurement explained for
the dose of Nasya. In routine Ayurvedic practice one Bindu is considered as one
drop (0.05ml), but according to the definition of Bindu and standardized
quantity mentioned by Acharayas, it is 1 Shana .which is ten times more than
routinely practiced dose .The present paper deals with classical concept of
Bindu and its standardization for Nasya. Objective:- 1. to standardize the
process to measure the dose of Bindu.2.Accordingly to standardize the dose of
one Bindu. Method and Material:- 90 volunteers aged between 16 to 60 years were
considered, 30 in each group, irrespective of sex and age were selected for the
study. Group A: 32 drops of Tila Taila (sesame oil) were dropped from anguli.
Group B: 32 drops of Tila Taila by dropper. Group C- 32 Bindu of Tila Taila the
method explained by Acharya Hemadri. Statistical analysis: Results were
observed and tabulation of data with a statistical commentary based on
percentages of different observations has been done. Results:- Study shows
variation in quantity of Bindu. Conclusion:- Analysis of the results showed
that Bindu is not equivalent to drop. Routinely practised dose counted by
dropper is 10 times less compared to classical Bindu. - See more at
