Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
In Ancient era, Agadtantra is one of the branch in Ayurveda consist the treatment of various poisoning. There are two types of line of treatment, general and special. In Chikitsastahan of Charak Samhita, Aacharya Charaka mentioned chaturvinshnshati vish upkrama for general treatment of poisoning. Hrudayawarana is one among chaturvinshnshati visha upkrama mentioned by Charaka and all other Acharya’s. As the word Hrudayawarna means it protects Hrudaya (vital organs) or it acts as a covering membrane over the vital organs. When poison enters into body via any administrative method, it goes into the heart through blood circulation. From the heart, it spreads all over the body quickly and becomes detrimental. Hence the prime duty of the physician is to guard the heart of the poisoned person depending upon the availability of Ghrut(ghee), Ghrut and madhu (ghee and honey) or Agadas (antitoxic drugs) mixed with Madhu (honey). Administration of this drug immediately after poisoning slows down the spread of poison where by more time is available for treatment. This is the principle of Hridayawarna treatment. So the heart is to be primarily protected by this method. This article will elaborate the concept of Hridayawarana & it’s on role in case of poisoning.
