Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Narration of Deepan Pachan paribhasha is the unique identity of Sharangdhara Samhita and Pramathi is one of them. Pramathi means by virtue of specific cleansing properties/ potency some drugs expel out the accumulated doshas from the strotasa. It is the need of time to explore these paribhasha (pharmacological actions) theoretically as well as clinically. Pramathi drugs are having teja and vayu mahabhoota dominance in them so their action is carried out with the help of laghu, rooksha, sookshma, teekshna, vishada guna , katu rasa, katu vipaka and ushna veerya. In the treatment of pureeshavegadharan Charaka has mentioned pramathi annapana also, in kshayaja kasa chikitsa, soup of meat of jangala animals which is having pramathi properties is indicated. The references of indications of maricha and vacha as in mookhdooshikahara lepa and pradhaman nasya can be interpreted and correlated with the concept of pramathi. Clinically in such conditions where doshas or aama have created the obstruction in strotasa the pramathi drugs are the choice of drug for the treatment.
