Introduction
The vata, pitta and kapha doshas denote the physiological state of a person, rasadi seven dhatus denote the structure or tissue component and pranavahaadi srotas denote the enzymatic, bio-chemical functional and circulatory activity related to each dhatu in the living beings.
The harmonious blending of this body, sense organs, mind and soul is well defined as life in Ayurveda. Health is not just absence of the disease, but it is the state of enjoying the life with physical, mental and spiritual happiness. Achievement of real health involves the maintenance, promotion of the health in a healthy individual and management, cure of the illness in a diseased person. The bheshaja or chikitsa (treatment) includes the measures for achieving the optimum health both in healthy and diseased one.
The major elimination of vitiated doshas are done by purification procedures i.e. shodhana (cleansing or elimination therapy). In Kalpa Sthana, 355 formulations for therapeutic emesis and 245 formulations for therapeutic purgatives, a total number of 600 formulations are formulated by using 15 important herbs for the different likings of the persons, doshika involvement and the specific disorders.
In the present chapter, 48 different formulations of danti and dravanti are described for therapeutic purgation. The chapter concludes Kalpa Sthana (section on pharmaceutics) and precedes Siddhi Sthana (section on successful management of Panchakarma). Therefore, in this chapter, the guidelines for designing effective formulations are mentioned along with those for management of various conditions arise during administration of purification medicines.
