STUDY OF KRIMIGHNA EFFECT OF NIMBA (AZADIRACTA INDICA A.JUSS.) PATRA AS RAKSHOGHNA DHOOPAN BY CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY METHOD W.S.R. TO PYOGENIC BACTERIA

Nimbapatra (Azadiracta indica A.juss) is described as Krimighna in Ayurvedic literature. In the present study Pyogenic bacteria i.e. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenus were grown on artificial media in laboratory and then isolated. The Petri dish containing the bacteria exposed to Nimba patra dhooma and this dish kept in incubator at 370c for 24 hours. Nimba patra is screened for its antimicrobial property. For comparison handmade paper Dhoom is used as Placebo and by statistical analysis; proportion of two variables, result is found significant as Nimba patra showed remarkable antibacterial property against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenus. The results is found significant as out of 28 samples of Staphylococcus aureus, 93 percent (i.e. 26 sample) bacteria was sensitive to Nimba patra dhoom and out of 2 sample of Streptococcus pyogenus, 50 percent (i.e. 1 sample) was sensitive to Nimba patra dhoom.
