The exploration of Ayurvastra, an Ayurvedic medicinal cloth, has emerged as a potential avenue for developing protective clothing with inherent antimicrobial properties. This study investigates the inherent antimicrobial activity present in Ayurvastra fabrics treated with Triphala Kashaya, Manjishta, and Dashamula Kwatha, employing cotton cloth as the testing medium. Ayurvastra, crafted from organic materials and dyed with medicinal herbs, represents an eco-friendly alternative to conventional textiles, free from toxins detrimental to both users and the environment. The textile industry's chemical-intensive processes have raised concerns about environmental degradation and health risks associated with chemical exposure. Ayurvastra, manufactured without chemical treatments, supports biodiversity and eco-friendly practices. Triphala Kashaya, Manjishta, and Dashamula, renowned in Ayurveda for their medicinal properties, were utilized in the preparation of these fabrics. Antimicrobial efficacy testing against specific microbes revealed that Triphala Kashaya-treated fabrics exhibited notable antimicrobial activity, followed by Dashamula and Manjishta. However, further comprehensive studies are essential to ascertain their efficacy against a broader spectrum of microbes before considering their use as antimicrobial clothing in healthcare settings. The manufacturing process of Ayurvastra involves a sequence of operations, including bleaching with cow urine, gumming with proprietary blends, and medicating with herbal Kashayas to impart medicinal qualities and diverse colors to the fabric. Carefully controlled procedures and herb blends define the fabric's health and wellness benefits. This investigation contributes to the understanding of Ayurvastra's potential as protective clothing with inherent antimicrobial properties, presenting a sustainable and organic alternative in the textile industry while emphasizing the need for extensive research to validate its efficacy across various microbial strains.
