Abstract

One area of Ashtang Ayurveda, Agadtantra, deals with poisoning from toxic substances and treatments for it. Toxins produced by V. cholera and bacterial strains[1] can be countered by agada kalpa. Bilwa, Surasa, Karanja, Nata, Suvaha, Haridra, Daruharidra, Triphala, and Trikatu are among the 13 constituents. There are references to it in the Sarpa damsha, Loota visha, Unduru visha, Vrischika visha, Visuchika, Ajeerna, Gara visha, and Jwara, Bhoota bhada texts. Visha chikitsa currently makes extensive use of Bilwadi Agad, which is referenced in Ashtang Hrudaya Uttarstana. Bilwadi Agad can be utilised in visuchika because of the special combination of medications in it. This Ayurvedic remedy is frequently used to treat a variety of gastrointestinal conditions. Jwar and Mandagni are the primary causes of Ama (Undigested Food Residue) production in the body. Drugs found in Bilvadi agad mostly have the qualities of Katu, Tikta Rasa, Laghu, Tikshana, Ruksha Guna, Usna Virya, Madhura Vipaka, Deepana, Pachana, Anulomana, Rochana, Shoolhara, Krimighna, Jwaraghna, Triptighna, and Vishaghna and act on the Kapha-Vata. The many ingredients in Bilwadi Agada have vishaghna, jwaraghna and visuchikahara qualities that could be used to treat the disease's symptoms. The utilisation of Bilvadi agada as visuchikahara is the aim of this paper.

Keywords: Bilvadi Agad, Visuchika, Ajeerna, Jwara.
