The Critical Analysis of Ashtavidha Virya
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Among the Rasapanchaka of any Dravya (drug), Guna occupies a very important place. A study of the pharmacological aspect of these Guna signifies that most of the principles laid down in the Ayurveda texts possess the characteristics of the Gurvadi Guna. Among the Karmukatva (action) of a Dravya, potency implies all the qualities of Dravyas by which they act viz. Rasa, Vipaka, Guna, Virya and Prabhava. Guna along with Virya (potency) indicates the physicopharmacological properties of Dravya (Dravya). The concept of Ashtavidha Virya is one of the most useful part to evaluate the desire mode of action (Karma) of a Dravya (drug). That’s why this article is compiled to review the critical analysis of Ashtavidha Virya with special reference Gurvadi Guna.
