ABSTRACT
Il termine "Dhanyamla" è composto da due parole distinte, "Dhanya" e "Amla", e ha il significato esteso di "cereali fermentati". Dhanyamla ha un grande valore terapeutico. È ampiamente usato in India, ma non in Sri Lanka. Questo studio si propone di valutare le proprietà di Dhanyamla e di far conoscere ai medici i suoi benefici.
I dati sono stati raccolti dai testi autentici di Ayurveda e dalle fonti elettroniche. Secondo Sahasra Yoga, il Dhanyamla si ottiene fermentando Tandula (Oryza Sativa), Pruthuka (pressato di Oryza Sativa), Kulattha (Macrotyloma uniflorum), Laja (Oryza sativa soffiata), Kangubeeja (Panicum sumatrense) Kodrava (Paspalum scrobiculatum), Nagara (Zingiber officinale) Nimbuka (Citrus aurantifolia), Deepyaka (Trachyspermum involucratum) e acqua. Secondo l'Ayurveda, il Dhanyamla ha proprietà di Amla Rasa; Laghu, Teeskna e Snigdha Guna; Ushna Veerya e Amla Vipaka. Il Dhanyamla può essere applicato internamente ed esternamente. La somministrazione orale di Dhanyamla aumenta l'appetito e migliora la digestione. Viene utilizzato in Asthapana Vasti e Virechana nella terapia Panchakarma per ottenere effetti Lekhana.
Esternamente viene utilizzato in Parisheka Sweda, Nadi Sweda, Avagaha Sweda, Shiro Dhara, Shiro Vasti e Alepa. L'utilizzo di Dhanyamla è vantaggioso in Amavata, Urustambha, Arshas, Vruddhi, Athisthaulya, Rajayakshma, Prathishyaya, Vidradhi, Daha, Peenasa e Jvara. In conclusione, Dhanyamla è una medicina che può essere utilizzata come trattamento multiforme.
