Determination of Antimicrobial Analysis of Some Selected Ayurvedic and Unani Medicines | Chapter 10 | Innovations in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 2

 The goal of this research was to look at biological activity and compare separate ayurveda and unani medicines. In in vitro culture conditions, all ayurveda medications were more effective antibacterial agents than unani medicine against all of the studied pathogens. In concentrations of neat and 1:2, Mustakarista displayed the greatest zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus sp. Amritarista had the highest MIC against Mycobacterium sp. and the highest MBC against Staphylococcus sp.; Mustakarishta had the highest MIC against Klebsiella sp. and the highest MBC against Mycobacterium sp.; Ashokarista had the highest MIC against Vibrio cholera and the highest MBC was observed against Staphylococcus sp.; Amalaki Rasay The combined action of the test product against chosen bacteria yielded positive findings against all of the microbes tested. Most commercial antibiotics have only a small response against all tested species, however all ayurveda medicines have roughly twice the antibacterial activity of unani medicine.
