The ancient Acharyas have told us prevention techniques like Dincharya, Rutucharya, Sadvrutta, Aaharvidhivishes etc. Administration of medicines with particular Anupana is only described in Ayurveda science and Anupana plays an integral part of Chikitsa (treatment). The concept of Anupana has been in Ayurvedic literature since archaic times. The liquid medium which is given with or after food or medicine is called as ANUPANA. Aahara and vihara are broadly described concepts in Ayurveda. Because if one should not follow the rules of aahara and vihara, it becomes hetus of vyadhi. Ayurveda described some rules about aaharasevana, jalapana etc. Aaharavidhivisheshaaayatana gives details of aahara. Forjalapana, jalashuddhikaranaupaya are also given. Jalais commonly used as an anupana for aahara. But also Ushnodakahas its own speciality as an Anupana for aahara, for aushadhi and in visheshaavastha.
