Ayurveda is one of the oldest and holistic science. Herbal medicines have a long therapeutic history; serving many of the health needs of large population of the world. However, the quality control and assurance remains as a challenge due to the high discrepancy of chemical components involved. In Ayurvedic texts, several formulations have been mentioned in Prameha (Diabetes Mellitus). Kimshukatvagadi is one such formulation mentioned in Sahasrayoga Vati Prakarana adhyaya. It contains Palash (Butea monosperma Lam.), Haridra (Curcuma longa L.), Amalaki (Emblica officinalis L.), Kataka (Strychnos potatorum L.f.), Vairi (Salacia reticulata Wight). Kimshukatvagadi Vati was converted into Ghana to increase its potency and then it was sealed into Capsule for increasing the shelf life, making it easy to dispense, dose fixation etc. Kimshukatvagadi Ghana Capsule was subjected to organoleptic analysis, phytochemical and qualitative analysis to detect the presence of various functional groups, and to high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) examination by optimizing the solvent systems.

In India, the availability of safe potable water remains a challenge in rural settings, where 72% of Indian population reside with high reliance on alternative water sources. In our country, the states having some circumscribed areas of high fluoride levels (endemic fluoride belts with F content in ground water above 4 ppm). Fluorosis mitigation is therefore necessary. Thus, the objective of this narrative review is to discuss various fluorosis mitigation programmes in India.Medline was the primary database used in the literature search. Other databases were also searched for relevant publications. Since the late 1980s, government and non-governmental agencies launched efforts to control fluorosis. However, most of attempts were mainly on defluoridation of water, so it cannot be proposed as the only or most effective solution to mitigate fluorosis.
