A CRITICAL STUDY ON TAKRARISHTA
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
Takrarishta,a fermented medicament prepared by buttermilk is a classical Ayurvedic formulation mentioned in Charaka Samhita. There are abundant references of Takra(buttermilk) in various Ayurvedic classics. Their method of preparation, types, qualities and benefits were also discussed in various chapters of the Samhitas and Sangraha granthas.Whereas, only two references are found with regards to Takrarishta. Both the references are found in Charaka Samhita, Chikitsa Sthana of 14th (Arsha Chikitsa) and 15th (Grahani Chikitsa) chapters respectively. Even though in both the references Takra is used as a common medium, the difference lies in the herbal ingredients which are uncommon in these formulations. But, both are having common indications of Agnimandya, Shotha and Arshas. In latter texts also the same reference of Takrarishta is found without much variation. But keen literature review discloses the rationality behind such a naming and its utility in respective contexts. Effort is carried here to clear the ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with available literatures and references.
