Pharmacodynamics
Ayurvedic- Tila has specific action in artavavaha srotas and garbhasaya2. It is snigdha ushna, artava janaka, rasayana and dantya2. It helps in artava formation by Rasa poshana3. Conversion of rasa to rakta helps in artava formation4. Tila has sookshma guna1 which helps in reaching deeper dhatus, upto sukra level. Agnimandya can be corrected by ingredients like vyosha and bhargi. Vyosha improves the bioavailability of tila in the srotas. Guda has specific action as padugna5. Tila is alpamootrakrit1 and grahi while guda is mootrala1 and sara and balances each other. Tila also supports asthi dhatu and its upadhatu- danta4. Effectiveness of tila kwatha granules.in Androgenic Axis, Metabolic Axis and Reproductive axis.

Androgenic Axis
Irregular periods are one of the symptoms of high DHEA because high levels of DHEA can inhibit ovulation5. Androgens oppose our other reproductive hormones, estrogen and progesterone, which are necessary for healthy ovulation.
         
Flavonoids of sesame seed stimulate and activate an enzyme known as aromatase which stimulate conversion of androgens to estrogen & progesterone, then enhances folliculogenesis7.
         
Results decrease in serum DHEA and Increase in SHBG6

Reproductive Axis
1. Estrogenic/ antiestrogenic and folliculogenisis8,9
    (due to phytoestrogen)
2. Increased Endometrial thickness
3. Decrease in size and volume of the ovary

 

Metabolic Axis

● Various studies shown that Sesamin, being an anti inflammatory agent, having potential role in the management of inflammation which is known significant factor in the pathogenesis of obesity, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases. Sesamin exert anti inflammatory effects and impairment in insulin signaling and resistance

● The insulin resistance of PCOS results in hyperinsulinemia which, at least in part, stimulates androgen secretion by ovarian theca cells (6–8), and decreases the hepatic synthesis of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). If SHBG levels are too low, it can be a sign of: Hypothyroidism, a condition in which your body doesn't make enough thyroid hormones, Type 2 diabetes11.

 

   The antioxidant and anti inflammatory activity have a significant role in metabolic axis. The antioxidant activity is attributed to polyphenols and flavonoids present in the Sunti and Bharngi and also due to the presence of lignans, phytosterols and phenolic compounds present in Tila. The four components of this formulation Tila, Bharngi, Sunti and Pipalli exhibit anti inflammatory activity due to the presence of unsaturated fatty acids and lignans in Tila, piperine in Pipalli, thus regulating the  pathogenesis of obesity, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases12,13. The bioenhancing property of Trikatu and health benefits of ghee and jaggery are added benefits.

Inferences from clinical studies conducted at Vaidyaratnam
Clinical Research was taken up at Vaidyaratnam Health centers for analyzing the effectiveness of Tila kwatha granules for a period of 3 months with ghee and without ghee.


► There are statistically highly significant results in Secondary amenorrhoea. Amenorrhea was corrected from the second month of administration of medicine as the patients started to get menstruation normally with an average interval of 28-30 days (for both the group).
► Ovulation - The 9 cases that were taken for study showed Anovulatory cycles. After a period of 3 months administration of Tila Kwatha granules, a follicular study was done where ovulation occurred between 14-18 days. This indicates that a significant result was found in anovulation with the administration of Tila Kwatha granules.
► Endometrial Thickness - There was significant result in the Endometrial thickness as the 12 patients had an average 4-5 mm thickness during the ovulatory period and did not increase till the 18th day. After administration of Tila Kwatha granules the endometrial thickness increased to an average of 7-8 mm on the 14th day of menstruation ( more prevalent in group administered with ghee).
► Size of the Ovary - There was significant change in the size and volume of ovary which was mainly due to the presence of cysts. The volume of the ovary changed from 14cc to 10cc after administration of Tila Kwatha Granules.
