Abstract / Details / Synopsis
Mental retardation (MR) describes Deficit in global intellectual performances. It acts as a barrier of cognition process. The mental retardation may be correlated with Manasa Mandata in Ayurveda which occurs due to Beejadosa where the parents if the child might have improper diet habits during and before conjugation. Acharyas have also mentioned that non fulfillment of desires of pregnant women leads to vitiation of Vatadosa in fetus which produces cognitive deficit, mental retardation etc. They also added that atheism of parents and their bad deeds in previous life also cause various abnormalities in fetus including mental retardation. In the present study, Brahma Rasayana was taken internally to see its effect on clinical symptoms of Manasa Mandata, changes in ABC (Abnormal Behavior Check List) score and toxic effects on these children. The therapeutic effect on Abnormal Behavior Check list (ABC) shows that the drug has highly significant effect (p<0.001) on the symptoms like attention, violent behavior towards others, destructive behavior, withdrawal behavior, rebellious behavior, sleeping, attention seeking and total score of ABC. No significant changes occurred in almost all laboratory parameters which can be interpreted that there is no toxic effect of this drug after administration to the children of Manasa Mandata.
