Abstract

Ayurveda the indigenous system of medicine is an integral part of Indian culture. Several drugs have been in use for centuries by the ancient aachaaryaas for preventing and curing various ailments. The war between health and diseases starts with the onset of Life. Therefore every person needs to be protected from diseases which are manifested by the vitiated doshaas, to grow up as a healthy citizen, for which the doshaas should be kept in normal conditions. For the equilibrium of these, Ayurveda explains dvividhopakramaas i.e., oorjaskara and roganut. Roganut includes shodhana and shamana chikitsaa. shamana chikitsaa is the one in which the doshaas are pacified but will not be expelled from the body, here the oushadha dravya is administered with proper Anupana.
