Abstract

Asthikshaya Lakshanas are predominantly seen in old age (Vardhkya kala). Old age is Vata kala or there is a predominance of Vata Dosha (Vayu and Akasha Mahabhuta) in the body. So to pacify those disorder the opposite Guna Mahabhuta Dravya has to be use. Ksheera and Ghrita has significant Snigdha and Madhura properties hence it does Vata Shamana in the body. Basti is considered as Pradhan karma in the Vata Vyadhi. Tikta rasa has Mahabhuta sanghatan of Aakash and Vayu Mahabhutas. Tikta rasa has the lightest Mahabhtas so it has property of deep penetration and helps to removes obstructions to reach at target. Thus Tikta rasa has tendency to go towards Asthi Dhatu after assimilation in the body due to dominance of Aakasha and Vayu Mahabhuta. In the present context Ksheera is used as Basti dravya. Thus in this abstract, we will know the effect of Panchatikta Ksheera Basti in Asthikshaya according to there Panchabhautika Sanghatana.
