Line 1: − + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + − + + − The fourth chapter, titled ''Shadavirechana Shatashritiyam'', provides comprehensive information about herbs and their classification by their specific activity and utility, medicinal preparations for evacuation (or evacuatives), and specific therapeutic regimen such as ''samshodhana'' (cleansing regimen) and ''samashamana'' (pacification regimen). Ayurveda emphasizes upon removing body impurities, like metabolic waste products, toxins, and undigested foods from various tissues and organs before treating any disease or applying measures for preservation, protection, and rejuvenation of health. There are six hundred preparations used for cleansing the body by ''vamana'' (therapeutic emesis) and virechana (therapeutic purgation), five hundred herbs, and (fifty) ''mahakashayas'' (classes with similar activity profile) of herbs used in their preparations. An Ayurvedic physician should have complete knowledge of special/selective actions of various preparations meant for removal of impurities from the body. The fifty ''mahakashayas'' comprise of ten herbs in each of five classes of drugs. It also includes six virechana ashraya (types of plant-based evacuatives), five ''kashaya yoni'' (original sources as per tastes), and five kashaya ''kalpana'' (forms of medicine preparations). + − Keywords: a catalogue of herbs, selective activity profile, pharmaceutical forms of drugs, medicinal juice, paste, decoction, cold infusion, hot infusion. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + − === Introduction ===+ − + − + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + − Sanskrit text, transliteration, and English translation − अथातःषड्विरेचनशताश्रितीयमध्यायं व्याख्यास्यामः||१|| इतिहस्माहभगवानात्रेयः||२|| − athātaḥ ṣaḍvirēcanaśatāśritīyamadhyāyaṁ vyākhyāsyāmaḥ||1|| iti ha smāha bhagavānātrēyaḥ||2|| − athAtaH ShaDvirecanashatAshritIyamadhyAyaM [1] vyAkhyAsyAmaH||1|| − + − + + + + + + + + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + − + + − Six parts of plants used in formulation: + + + + + − + − + − + − + − + + + + + + + + + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + − The fifty Mahakashaya, or classes of medicines, grouped by major classes, are as follows:+ − Ten Major Classes/Groups of Medicines: + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + − Thus, fifty classes of medicines have been mentioned for definition and example.

Classification of medicinal herbs has been done on the basis of their specific action. [verse 5] + − • Five origins of medicines in this compendium are based on their tastes: sweet, sour, pungent, bitter and astringent. These basic tastes can produce various medicine forms. However, the salty taste cannot produce any other medicinal form as it is soluble in water. [verse 6] + − • A drug can be prepared in five forms viz. juices, pastes, decoctions, cold infusions and hot infusions. Fresh juice is more potent/effective than paste; the paste is more potent than decoction; the decoction is more potent than cold infusion; and, cold infusion is more potent than hot infusion. Here, potency refers to active potential of the drug as well as expected bio-availability of the drug inside the body. The dosage of medication is decided depending upon the strength of the patient and the severity of disease. The digestive power of the patient is also an important consideration when deciding the form or mode of administration. If the digestive power of patient is weak, then swarasa (juice) should be avoided because it is strong and heavy to digest. In that case, one should recommend phanta (hot infusion). There are many new forms of medicine available these days. However, the basic forms will remain five as described above. [verse 7]+ − • A single medicine can work in different ways and depending upon the properties and modes of interaction with biological systems, may lead to different pharmacological effects. Similarly, different drugs could result in similar patterns to produce a common cumulative pharmacological effect. Therefore, these drugs have been grouped into specific mahakashaya [verse 22].+ + + + + − + + − 1.1 Jivaniya (vitaliser): Drugs which promote vitality are called 'jivaniya'. They promote formation of good quality body tissues and are used in the management of ojas disorders. These drugs are predominant in prithví + jala mahabhuta and are mostly madhura (sweet in taste) and sheeta veerya (cool in potency). These drugs are used in immunocompromised and chronic debilitating diseases. + − 1.2. Brimhaniya (strength promoting): Drugs that increase body strength and bulk of muscles (weight), and anabolic activities by nourishing the dhatus are termed brimhaniya. Thus, brimhaniya drugs make body strong and firm. Prithvi and jala mahabhutas are predominant in brimhaniya drugs. These drugs are indicated in degenerative diseases like neuromuscular diseases.+ − 1.3. Lekhaniya (lightness producing): Drugs that reduce excessively increased dhatus and make person lean and thin along with feeling of lightness are said lekhaniya. Vayu and agni mahabhutas are predominant in such type of drugs. These drugs are indicated in diseases like obesity that are caused due to overnutrition. + − 1.4. Bhedaniya (useful for probing and depressurizing): Those drugs that break the accumulation of dosha, fecal material, gulma (abdominal lump) or any type of growth are called bhedaniya. Bhedana action of these drugs is due to their tikshna property (sharp, piercing properties). These are indicated in diseases with obstructive pathology. + − 1.5. Sandhaniya (union promoter): The drugs that are helpful for uniting tissues, wound healing and treatment of fractures are called sandhaniya. Mostly kashaya rasa dravyas are included in this group.+ − 1.6. Dipaniya (appetiser): The drugs which increase appetite are called dipaniya. These drugs stimulate appetite as they possess predominantly agni mahabhuta. These drugs are pungent, sour and salty in taste, hot in potency, and with light and strong properties. + − 2/7 Balya (tonic): Balya has been defined as a class of druges that have upachaya (firm) and shakti (strength) as their key properties. So balya means that which enhances strength by promoting ojas (Dalhana– Su.Su. 45.26). Bala has been considered as action of ojas. In absence of ojas body becomes unable to perform its own natural function. Balya dravyas are considered as of two types:+ − a. Samanya (general) – These drugs promote general bodily strength, such as shatavari etc. Being dhatu promoting they potentiate the formation of ojas.+ − b. Vishishta (specific) – Some drugs provide strength to specific organs, such as+ − Tiktarasa dravyas, effective for amashaya (stomach)+ − Arjuna, effective for hridaya (heart)+ − 2.8. Varnya (complexion promoting): Drugs that are useful in the maintenance and improvement of natural body complexion are called varnya. Bhrajaka pitta situated in the skin is responsible for the complexion of the skin. These drugs (e.g., chandana, ushira, manjishtha, sariva etc.) pacify bhrajaka pitta and improve the complexion, and therefore are used in cosmetics .+ − 2.9. Kanthya (beneficial for throat and voice): Drugs which alleviate defect in the vocal cord and restore the normalcy of voice are called kanthya or svarya. Disorders of throat are considered tridoshaja (since all the doshas are vitiated in these disorders), however vata and kapha are predominant. Therefore, vata-kapha pacifying drugs are beneficial in alleviating throat disorders and improving voice.+ − 2.10. Hridya (cardiac tonic): The ten hridya drugs are generally mildly sour tasting and liked by most people. The word hridya denotes that which is beneficial to the heart (cardiac tonic) i.e. arjuna, gold. etc.+ − 3.11. Truptighna (anti-satiety): Trupti (satiety) is a specific disorder of kapha in which feeling of fullness or bloatedness is experienced. The drugs of this group are mostly pungent and bitter tasting.+ − 3.12. Arshodhna (anti-hemorrhoids): These drugs alleviate the cause of doshas of arsha (haemorrhoids) are called arshoghna. + − 3.13. Kushthaghna (anti-dermatosis): These drugs mainly pacify the vitiation of blood and alleviate skin disorders and are called kushthaghna. Most of the drugs of this group act as vyadhipratyanika (anti-disease) but this property is also gauged by the prabhava (specific potency) of a drug. Khadira is an example of a kushthaghna (alleviating skin diseases).+ − 3.14. Kandughna (anti-pruritic): These drugs alleviate itching and therefore are called kandughna. Aggravated kapha localized to skin or membrane produces itching (kandu). Thus, the drug is effective in pacifying kapha and is very effective in keeping the skin healthy.+ − 3.15. Krumighna (anthelmintic or vermicidal): The drugs that destroy external and internal worms and expel them out of the body are termed krumighna. These have been classified into two groups by their mode of action: + − a. Antahkrumighna (wormicidal) –Drugs that destroy worms (especially those residing in the intestines) - either by killing them or rendering them immobile.+ − b. Bahyakrumighna (affecting external microbes) + − 3.16. Vishaghna (antidote for poison): Drugs eliminating the toxic effects of visha (poison) are called vishaghna.+ − 4.17. Stanyajanana (galactogogue): The sweet essence of rasa dhatu that reaches the breast from entire body is stanya (breast milk). In the process of breast milk formation and secretion, emotions and affection of the mother for the baby play an important role. Drugs that enhance the production and secretion of breast milk are called 'stanyajanana'.+ − 4.18. Stanyashodhana (galacto-purifiers): Vitiated doshas reaching the breast vitiate the breast milk by affecting the rasa, rakta, mamsa dhatus. The drugs that alleviate these disorders are known as stanyashodhana.+ − 4.19. Shukrajanana (semen promoting): The drugs that promote or enhance production of shukra (semen) are called shukrajanana, or shukrala. Shukra is liquid, unctuous, sweet, smelling like honey, cold, and slimy by nature. These drugs also possess properties similar to those of shukra, thus aiding and enhancing the formation of shukra. This group includes seven medicines of the jivaniya class.+ − 4.20. Shukrashodhana (semen purifiers): These drugs eliminate the disorders of semen and purify it. + + − + − 5.21. Snehopaga (aiding in oleation): This group of drugs help to promote unctuousness are called 'snehopaga'. These are useful for internal oleation in cases of dryness produced in channels. + − 5.22. Swedopaga (aiding in diaphoresis/sudation): These drugs are helpful in diaphoresis/sudations and are termed as 'swedopaga'. These are indicated to remove impurities through sweat. + − 5.23. Vamanopaga (aiding in emesis): These drugs help in the process of therapeutic emesis and avoid complications and are called 'vamanopaga'.+ − 5.24. Virecanopaga (aiding in purgation): These drugs are useful during therapeutic purgation and are effective in dealing with complications and mucosal irritation produced by purgatives.+ − 5.25. Asthapanopaga (aiding in ununctuous enema): Ununctuous enema is generally administered with medicated decoctions for purification of channels and removing obstructions. Due to their “churning” properties, these drugs aid in eliminating the accumulated doshas of channels.+ − 5.26. Anuvasanopaga (aiding in unctuous enema): Unctuous enema is generally administered with oil for oleation of channels and improving strength of body. + − 5.27. Shirovirechanopaga (supporting in nasal drug delivery): These drugs are useful in removing impurities from organs and channels in the head, neck and supraclavicular regions. These are generally indicated in congestive and suppurative diseases of nose, ear, eyes and head regions. + − 6.28. Chardi nigrahna (reduce/check vomiting): Drugs that check emesis and pacify its root cause. + − 6.29. Trushnánigrahana (reduce thirst/polydypsia): Drugs that pacify excessive thirst. + − 6.30. Hikkanigrahana (reduce/check hiccups): These drugs check hiccups. Hiccups are caused by vitiated vata and kapha doshas. + − 7.31. Purishasarugrahaniya (reducing frequency and liquidity of stool): These drugs reduce the frequency of defecation and excessively watery stool. + − 7.32. Purishavirajaniya (eliminating the abnormal colour of faces): These drugs eliminate the abnormal colour of faces and convert it into normal state. Mainly ranjaka pitta is responsible for colouring the stool. Therefore, for purishavirajana action mostly pitta pacifying drugs are useful.+ − 7.33. Mutrasarugrahaniya (anti-diuretic): These drugs reduce the frequency of urination in diabetes like conditions. In this group bhallataka has ushna virya (or is hot in potency), which decreases the quantity of urine produced in the bladder. Panchaavalkala reduces the urine output by increasing vata by virtue of sheeta, kashaya and ruksha properties.+ − 7.34. Mutravirajaniya (reducing abnormal colour of urine): These drugs correct abnormality in the colour of urine. Drugs of this group are sheetavirya and pacify pitta.+ − 7.35. Mutravirechaniya (diuretic): These drugs increase the flow and formation of urine. In panchabhautika composition jala and agni mahabhutas are predominant, so both sheeta and ushna vírya drugs increase urination.+ − + − 8.36. Kasahara (antitussive and mucolytic): These drugs reduce the impulse to cough. Vitiated pranavayu associated with udanavayu comes out from the mouth with force in an abnormal manner, producing sound like that of “a cracked utensil of bell metal”. As such vata pacifying madhura, snigdha and ushna drugs pacify vata and alleviate kasa.+ − 8.37. Shwasahara (relieving dyspnea/bronchodilator): Pranavayu excessively moves upward resulting in bhastrikadhmana (distended leather bag) like movement of chest. Clinically, it is dyspnea due to airway obstruction commonly caused by histamine and other inflammatory peptides. Shatti contains antihistamine properties and pushkarmoola has bronchodilator properties. + − 8.38. Shothahara (relieve swelling): Aggravated kapha, rakta and pitta obstruct vayu resulting in accumulation of fluid in interstitial space resulting in shotha (swelling).+ − All the ten drugs in this group are called dashamoola and they all pacify all the three doshas.+ − 8.39. Jwarahara (relieving fever): Increase in heat in the body and the mind are cardinal signs of fever. According to Ayurveda, amadosha entering the amashaya causes jwara.+ − + − a. Santapahara (anti-pyretic)+ − b. Amapachana (digesting ama)+ − c. Vishamajvaraghna (relieving fever of periodic pattern)+ − + − a. Drugs pacifying pitta+ − b. Drugs that digest ama and cleanse the channels. + − 8.40. Shramahara (relieving fatigue): These drugs help in overcoming fatigue. Fatigue is caused due to increased vata. Shramahara drugs, by virtue of madhura and snigdha properties, pacify vata and help in treating hypoglycemia, generalized debility etc.+ − 9.41. Dahaprashamana (pacifying burning sensation): These drugs pacify daha (internal and external burning sensations). Daha is a cardinal sign of pitta. In this group, the drugs are mostly sheetavirya and of madhura and tikta rasa, thus pitta-pacifying. This combination can also be used in hyperpyrexia.+ − 9.42. Sheetaprashamana (pacifying cold): These drugs pacify coldness in the body. Feeling cold is caused by vitiated vata and kapha. Ushnavirya drugs pacify vata and kapha while removing coldness. As such they are useful in curing fever with rigour and in vata-kapha disorders.+ − 9.43. Udaradaprashamana (alleviating allergic rashes): Allergic rashes on skin that look like insect bite are called udarda. Drugs that cure udarda are known as udaradaprashamana. In this disease, vitiated vata and kapha are predominant and have partial involvement of pitta. So udaradaprashamana drugs pacify all the three doshas.+ − 9.44. Angamardaprashamana (alleviating malaise/bodyache): Angamarda is a cardinal sign of vatika disorders that manifest specially in the stage of dhatukshaya or general debility. Most of the drugs of this group possess madhura-snigdha properties that are opposite to the properties of vata. So, they promote strength and increase nutrition of dhatus. As such these drugs restore the natural functions of the body and therefore called angamardaprashamana.+ − 9.45. Shoolaprashamana (anti-spasmodic, anticolic, analgesic): The root-cause of shoola is vata.

<big>'''Abstract'''</big>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This chapter provides comprehensive information about herbs and their classification by their specific activity and utility, medicinal preparations for evacuation (or evacuatives), and specific therapeutic regimen such as cleansing regimen (samshodhana) and pacification regimen (samshamana). [[Ayurveda]] emphasizes upon removing body impurities, like metabolic waste products, toxins, and undigested foods from various tissues and organs before treating any disease or applying measures for preservation, protection, and rejuvenation of health. There are six hundred preparations used for cleansing the body by therapeutic emesis ([[vamana]]) and therapeutic purgation ([[virechana]]), five hundred herbs, and fifty groups of herbs with similar activity profile (mahakashaya) used in their preparations. A physician should have complete knowledge of special/selective actions of various preparations meant for removal of impurities from the body. Each of the fifty mahakashaya comprises ten herbs. This chapter also describes six types of plant-based evacuatives ([[virechana]] ashraya), their basic sources as per taste (five kashaya yoni), and five medicinal forms like juice, paste, decoction, cold effusion and hot effusion. </p>
'''Keywords''': a catalogue of herbs, selective activity profile, pharmaceutical forms of drugs, medicinal juice, paste, decoction, cold infusion, hot infusion.
This chapter is the last one among the Bheshaja Chatushka (tetrad on therapeutics). As the second and third chapters dealt with the internal and external cleansing procedures respectively, the present chapter is in continuation of those topics and talks of ''vamana'' (therapeutic emesis) and virechana (therapeutic purgation) based treatment procedures. These preparations - six hundred of them - are also described in the section of Kalpasthana that deals with specific preparations for body cleansing procedures. However, considering the importance of cleansing procedures, they are referred briefly in the present chapter. The main content of this chapter includes fifty classes of five hundred herbs, based upon their selective action on various diseases and biological systems. These classes are called ''mahakashaya'' (classes of drugs with similar activity profile) comprising ten herbs each. These fifty classes are again sub-divided into ten sub-classes starting with ''jeevaniya'' (vitalizers) and ending with ''vayasthapana'' (anti-aging herbs). These fifty ''mahakashaya'' refer to fifty therapeutic indications, for example, ''chhardi nigrahana'' (anti-emetic), ''mutra virechaniya'' (diuretic), ''kasahara'' (antitussive and expectorant), ''shoola prashamana'' (analgesic), etc. The potency of a single drug may vary per the preparation and the indication of preparation depends on the patient’s strength.
== Introduction ==
Thus, this chapter provides a comprehensive information about medicinal preparations, their original plant resources, and selective actions of each preparation with targeted activity profile.

This chapter is the last one among ''Bheshaja Chatushka'' (group of chapters on therapeutics). Previous second and third chapters dealt with the internal and external cleansing procedures respectively. Present chapter is in continuation of those topics and describes therapeutic emesis (''[[vamana]]'') and therapeutic purgation (''[[virechana]]'') based treatment procedures. These preparations - six hundred of them - are also described in the section of [[Kalpa Sthana]] that deals with specific preparations for body cleansing procedures. However, considering the importance of cleansing procedures, they are referred briefly in the present chapter. The main content of this chapter includes fifty classes of five hundred herbs, based upon their selective action on various diseases and biological systems. These classes are called ''mahakashaya'' (classes of drugs with similar activity profile) comprising ten herbs each. These fifty classes are again sub-divided into ten sub-classes starting with vitalizers (''jeevaniya'') and ending with anti-aging herbs (''vayasthapana''). These fifty ''mahakashaya'' refer to fifty therapeutic indications, for example, anti-emetic (''chhardi nigrahana''), diuretic (''mutra virechaniya''), antitussive and expectorant (''kasahara''), analgesic(''shoola prashamana''), etc. The potency of a single drug may vary per the preparation and the indication of preparation depends on the patient’s strength.
Thus, this chapter provides a comprehensive information about medicinal preparations, their original plant resources, and selective actions of each preparation with targeted activity profile.

The five forms of medicinal preparations are: juices, pastes, decoctions (i.e., herbs boiled with water), cold infusions (herbs soaked overnight in hot water), and hot infusions (herbs mixed with hot water). A drug, in the juice form, extracted out of a preparation by applying mechanical pressure, is called ‘swarasa’. Kalka is a drug ground with some liquid into a lump or paste form. Physicians say that shruta (kwatha) is a decoction prepared by boiling a drug on fire. When a drug is kept in hot water for the whole night, the cold infusion thus obtained is known as sheeta. Finally, phanta (hot infusion) is a preparation in which a drug is put in hot water for a while, gently mixed and administered.

The potency of these drugs is (increasing) in preceding order (hot infusion to juice), but the administration of medicine forms depend on severity of disease and strength of the patient and, therefore, are not all useful everywhere (indiscriminately). [7]

Lord Atreya replied to him, “Agnivesha! These should not be looked at in this way by the intelligent. If a person acquires multiple skills, then he is identified by different names as per his skills based on instruments and his profession. Likewise, a single medicine can work in different ways depending upon the properties and interaction with biological systems and performance of multiple functions. If we could find such a certain single drug that is able to exert all the actions, who would intend to know or teach the students about the other drugs?” [22]

Now, to summarize all this body of knowledge:
Six hundred evacuatives with their number of formulations and ingredients have been mentioned in this chapter in brief along with their six resources. Rasas, except lavana, are known as kashaya and as such five sources of medicines have been mentioned. Their five forms of preparations have also been mentioned. Further, fifty subgroups of medicines have also been mentioned along with the five hundred medicines as ingredients for the sake of definition. While there is no limit to elaboration, too much brevity would make things incomprehensible for the less intelligent. This description about fifty groups of medicines is neither too exhaustive nor too concise, which should be enough for the practice to the dull and for (further) advancement of knowledge to the scholars.

Six hundred evacuatives with their number of formulations and ingredients have been mentioned in this chapter in brief along with their six resources. ''Rasas'', except ''lavana'', are known as ''kashaya'' and as such five sources of medicines have been mentioned. Their five forms of preparations have also been mentioned. Further, fifty subgroups of medicines have also been mentioned along with the five hundred medicines as ingredients for the sake of definition. While there is no limit to elaboration, too much brevity would make things incomprehensible for the less intelligent.

<div style="text-align:justify;">
*Six sources of evacuatives (sourced from plant parts) are latex, root, bark, leaf, flower and fruit. Classification of medicinal herbs has been done on the basis of their specific action. [verse 5]
*Five origins of medicines in this compendium are based on their tastes: sweet, sour, pungent, bitter and astringent. These basic tastes can produce various medicine forms. However, the salty taste cannot produce any other medicinal form as it is soluble in water. [verse 6]
*A drug can be prepared in five forms viz. juices, pastes, decoctions, cold infusions and hot infusions. Fresh juice is more potent/effective than paste; the paste is more potent than decoction; the decoction is more potent than cold infusion; and, cold infusion is more potent than hot infusion. Here, potency refers to active potential of the drug as well as expected bio-availability of the drug inside the body. The dosage of medication is decided depending upon the strength of the patient and the severity of disease. The digestive power of the patient is also an important consideration when deciding the form or mode of administration. If the digestive power of patient is weak, then ''swarasa'' (juice) should be avoided because it is strong and heavy to digest. In that case, one should recommend ''phanta'' (hot infusion). There are many new forms of medicine available these days. However, the basic forms will remain five as described above. [verse 7]
*A single medicine can work in different ways and depending upon the properties and modes of interaction with biological systems, may lead to different pharmacological effects. Similarly, different drugs could result in similar patterns to produce a common cumulative pharmacological effect. Therefore, these drugs have been grouped into specific ''mahakashaya''. [verse 22]

The chapter describes fifty classes of medicines per their selective action on biological systems and their expected pharmacological effects. These medicines are clinically used in various disease conditions and for indicated benefit:
#''Jivaniya'' (vitaliser): Drugs which promote vitality are called ''jivaniya''. They promote formation of good quality body tissues and are used in the management of [[ojas]] disorders. These drugs are predominant in ''[[prithvi]]'' + ''[[jala mahabhuta]]'' and are mostly ''madhura'' (sweet in taste) and ''sheeta veerya'' (cool in potency). These drugs are used in immunocompromised and chronic debilitating diseases.
#''Brimhaniya'' (strength promoting): Drugs that increase body strength and bulk of muscles (weight), and anabolic activities by nourishing the ''dhatus'' are termed ''brimhaniya''. Thus, ''brimhaniya'' drugs make body strong and firm. ''[[Prithvi]]'' and ''[[jala mahabhuta]]s'' are predominant in ''brimhaniya'' drugs. These drugs are indicated in degenerative diseases like neuromuscular diseases.
#''Lekhaniya'' (lightness producing): Drugs that reduce excessively increased ''[[dhatu]]s'' and make person lean and thin along with feeling of lightness are said ''lekhaniya''. ''[[Vayu]]'' and ''[[agni mahabhuta]]s'' are predominant in such type of drugs. These drugs are indicated in diseases like obesity that are caused due to overnutrition.
#''Bhedaniya'' (useful for probing and depressurizing): Those drugs that break the accumulation of ''[[dosha]]'', fecal material, ''gulma'' (abdominal lump) or any type of growth are called ''bhedaniya''. ''Bhedana'' action of these drugs is due to their ''tikshna'' property (sharp, piercing properties). These are indicated in diseases with obstructive pathology.
#''Sandhaniya'' (union promoter): The drugs that are helpful for uniting tissues, wound healing and treatment of fractures are called ''sandhaniya''. Mostly ''kashaya rasa dravyas'' are included in this group.
#''Dipaniya'' (appetiser): The drugs which increase appetite are called ''dipaniya''. These drugs stimulate appetite as they possess predominantly ''[[agni mahabhuta]]''. These drugs are pungent, sour and salty in taste, hot in potency, and with light and strong properties.
#''Balya'' (tonic): ''Balya'' has been defined as a class of drugs that have ''upachaya'' (firm) and ''shakti'' (strength) as their key properties. So ''balya'' means that which enhances strength by promoting ''[[ojas]]''. [Dalhana on Su.Sa.Sutra Sthana 45/26] <ref>Dalhana, Sushruta. Sutra Sthana, Cha.45 Drava dravya vidhi Adhyaya verse 26. In: Jadavaji Trikamji Aacharya, Editors. Sushruta Samhita. 8th ed. Varanasi: Chaukhambha Orientalia;2005.</ref>''Bala'' has been considered as action of [[ojas]]. In absence of ''[[ojas]]'' body becomes unable to perform its own natural function. ''Balya dravyas'' are considered as of two types:
##''[[Samanya]]'' (general) – These drugs promote general bodily strength, such as ''shatavari'' etc. Being ''[[dhatu]]'' promoting they potentiate the formation of ''[[ojas]]''.
##''Vishishta'' (specific) – Some drugs provide strength to specific organs, such as
###''Tiktarasa dravyas'', effective for ''amashaya'' (stomach)
###''Arjuna'', effective for ''hridaya'' (heart)
#''Varnya'' (complexion promoting): Drugs that are useful in the maintenance and improvement of natural body complexion are called ''varnya''. ''Bhrajaka pitta'' situated in the skin is responsible for the complexion of the skin. These drugs (e.g., ''chandana, ushira, manjishtha, sariva'' etc.) pacify ''bhrajaka [[pitta]]'' and improve the complexion, and therefore are used in cosmetics .
#''Kanthya'' (beneficial for throat and voice): Drugs which alleviate defect in the vocal cord and restore the normalcy of voice are called ''kanthya'' or ''svarya''. Disorders of throat are considered ''tridoshaja'' (since all the ''[[dosha]]s'' are vitiated in these disorders), however ''[[vata]]'' and ''[[kapha]]'' are predominant. Therefore, ''[[vata]]-[[kapha]]'' pacifying drugs are beneficial in alleviating throat disorders and improving voice.
#''Hridya'' (cardiac tonic): The ten ''hridya'' drugs are generally mildly sour tasting and liked by most people. The word ''hridya'' denotes that which is beneficial to the heart (cardiac tonic) i.e. ''arjuna'', gold. etc.
#''Truptighna'' (anti-satiety): ''Trupti'' (satiety) is a specific disorder of ''[[kapha]]'' in which feeling of fullness or bloatedness is experienced. The drugs of this group are mostly pungent and bitter tasting.
#''Arshodhna'' (anti-hemorrhoids): These drugs alleviate the cause of ''[[dosha]]s'' of ''arsha'' (haemorrhoids) are called ''arshoghna''.
#''Kushthaghna'' (anti-dermatosis): These drugs mainly pacify the vitiation of blood and alleviate skin disorders and are called ''kushthaghna''. Most of the drugs of this group act as ''vyadhipratyanika'' (anti-disease) but this property is also gauged by the ''prabhava'' (specific potency) of a drug. ''Khadira'' is an example of a ''kushthaghna'' (alleviating skin diseases).
#''Kandughna'' (anti-pruritic): These drugs alleviate itching and therefore are called ''kandughna''. Aggravated ''[[kapha]]'' localized to skin or membrane produces itching (''kandu''). Thus, the drug is effective in pacifying ''[[kapha]]'' and is very effective in keeping the skin healthy.
#''Krimighna'' (anthelmintic or vermicidal): The drugs that destroy external and internal worms and expel them out of the body are termed ''krimighna''. These have been classified into two groups by their mode of action:
##''Antahkrimighna'' (wormicidal) –Drugs that destroy worms (especially those residing in the intestines) - either by killing them or rendering them immobile.
##''Bahyakrimighna'' (affecting external microbes)
#''Vishaghna'' (antidote for poison): Drugs eliminating the toxic effects of ''visha'' (poison) are called ''vishaghna''.
#''Stanyajanana'' (galactogogue): The sweet essence of ''[[rasa dhatu]]'' that reaches the breast from entire body is ''stanya'' (breast milk). In the process of breast milk formation and secretion, emotions and affection of the mother for the baby play an important role. Drugs that enhance the production and secretion of breast milk are called ''stanyajanana''.
#''Stanyashodhana'' (galacto-purifiers): Vitiated ''[[dosha]]s'' reaching the breast vitiate the breast milk by affecting the ''[[rasa]], [[rakta]], [[mamsa]]'' ''[[dhatu]]s''. The drugs that alleviate these disorders are known as ''stanyashodhana''.
#''Shukrajanana'' (semen promoting): The drugs that promote or enhance production of ''[[shukra]]'' (semen) are called ''shukrajanana'', or ''shukrala''. ''[[Shukra]]'' is liquid, unctuous, sweet, smelling like honey, cold, and slimy by nature. These drugs also possess properties similar to those of ''[[shukra]]'', thus aiding and enhancing the formation of ''[[shukra]]''. This group includes seven medicines of the ''jivaniya'' class.
#''Shukrashodhana'' (semen purifiers): These drugs eliminate the disorders of semen and purify it.
Drugs that assist or aid in evacuative therapies are called 'upaga'. Besides the medications described above, there are snehopaga (sneha + upaga) and swedopaga (sweda + upaga) medicines are used for purvakarma (precleansing procedure) while the rest find use in panchakarma procedures.

#''Snehopaga'' (aiding in oleation): This group of drugs help to promote unctuousness are called ''snehopaga''. These are useful for internal oleation in cases of dryness produced in channels.
#''Swedopaga'' (aiding in diaphoresis/sudation): These drugs are helpful in diaphoresis/sudations and are termed as ''swedopaga''. These are indicated to remove impurities through sweat.
#''Vamanopaga'' (aiding in emesis): These drugs help in the process of therapeutic emesis and avoid complications and are called ''vamanopaga''.
#''Virechanopaga'' (aiding in purgation): These drugs are useful during therapeutic purgation and are effective in dealing with complications and mucosal irritation produced by purgatives.
#''Asthapanopaga'' (aiding in ununctuous enema): Ununctuous enema is generally administered with medicated decoctions for purification of channels and removing obstructions. Due to their “churning” properties, these drugs aid in eliminating the accumulated ''[[dosha]]s'' of channels.
#''Anuvasanopaga'' (aiding in unctuous enema): Unctuous enema is generally administered with oil for oleation of channels and improving strength of body.
#''Shirovirechanopaga'' (supporting in nasal drug delivery): These drugs are useful in removing impurities from organs and channels in the head, neck and supraclavicular regions. These are generally indicated in congestive and suppurative diseases of nose, ear, eyes and head regions.
#''Chhardi nigrahna'' (reduce/check vomiting): Drugs that check emesis and pacify its root cause.
#''Trushnánigrahana'' (reduce thirst/polydypsia): Drugs that pacify excessive thirst.
#''Hikkanigrahana'' (reduce/check hiccups): These drugs check hiccups. Hiccups are caused by vitiated ''[[vata]]'' and ''[[kapha]] doshas''.
#''Purishasarugrahaniya'' (reducing frequency and liquidity of stool): These drugs reduce the frequency of defecation and excessively watery stool.
#''Purishavirajaniya'' (eliminating the abnormal colour of faces): These drugs eliminate the abnormal colour of faces and convert it into normal state. Mainly ''ranjaka [[pitta]]'' is responsible for colouring the stool. Therefore, for ''purishavirajana'' action mostly ''[[pitta]]'' pacifying drugs are useful.
#''Mutrasarugrahaniya'' (anti-diuretic): These drugs reduce the frequency of urination in diabetes like conditions. In this group ''bhallataka'' has ''ushna virya'' (or is hot in potency), which decreases the quantity of urine produced in the bladder. ''Panchaavalkala'' reduces the urine output by increasing ''[[vata]]'' by virtue of ''sheeta, kashaya'' and ''ruksha'' properties.
#''Mutravirajaniya'' (reducing abnormal colour of urine): These drugs correct abnormality in the colour of urine. Drugs of this group are ''sheetavirya'' and pacify ''[[pitta]]''.
#''Mutravirechaniya'' (diuretic): These drugs increase the flow and formation of urine. In ''panchabhautika'' composition ''[[jala]]'' and ''[[agni]]'' ''[[mahabhuta]]s'' are predominant, so both ''sheeta'' and ''ushna vírya'' drugs increase urination.
In relation to chardi etc., word 'nigrahana' and 'sangrahana' with purisha etc. are used. Nigrahana means to check, control or stop, while sangrahana means to increase absorption of water, restrain and/or collect. This is the difference between above two words.

#''Kasahara'' (antitussive and mucolytic): These drugs reduce the impulse to cough. Vitiated ''pranavayu'' associated with ''udanavayu'' comes out from the mouth with force in an abnormal manner, producing sound like that of “a cracked utensil of bell metal”. As such ''[[vata]]'' pacifying ''madhura, snigdha'' and ''ushna'' drugs pacify ''[[vata]]'' and alleviate ''kasa''.
#''Shwasahara'' (relieving dyspnea/bronchodilator): ''Pranavayu'' excessively moves upward resulting in ''bhastrikadhmana'' (distended leather bag) like movement of chest. Clinically, it is dyspnea due to airway obstruction commonly caused by histamine and other inflammatory peptides. ''Shatti'' contains antihistamine properties and ''pushkarmoola'' has bronchodilator properties.
#''Shothahara'' (relieve swelling): Aggravated ''[[kapha]], [[rakta]]'' and ''[[pitta]]'' obstruct ''[[vayu]]'' resulting in accumulation of fluid in interstitial space resulting in ''shotha'' (swelling).
All the ten drugs in this group are called ''dashamoola'' and they all pacify all the three ''[[dosha]]s''.
The drugs for jwara have been grouped as follows:
#''Jwarahara'' (relieving fever): Increase in heat in the body and the mind are cardinal signs of fever. According to [[Ayurveda]] , ''amadosha'' entering the ''amashaya'' causes ''[[jwara]]''. The drugs for ''[[jwara]]'' have been grouped as follows:
##''Santapahara'' (anti-pyretic)
##''Amapachana'' (digesting ama)
##''Vishamajvaraghna'' (relieving fever of periodic pattern)
Drugs of this group may also be classified as:
#Drugs of this group may also be classified as:
##Drugs pacifying ''[[pitta]]''
##Drugs that digest ''ama'' and cleanse the channels.
#''Shramahara'' (relieving fatigue): These drugs help in overcoming fatigue. Fatigue is caused due to increased ''[[vata]]''. ''Shramahara'' drugs, by virtue of ''madhura'' and ''snigdha'' properties, pacify ''[[vata]]'' and help in treating hypoglycemia, generalized debility etc.
#''Dahaprashamana'' (pacifying burning sensation): These drugs pacify ''daha'' (internal and external burning sensations). ''Daha'' is a cardinal sign of ''[[pitta]]''. In this group, the drugs are mostly ''sheetavirya'' and of ''madhura'' and ''tikta'' rasa, thus ''[[pitta]]''-pacifying. This combination can also be used in hyperpyrexia.
#''Sheetaprashamana'' (pacifying cold): These drugs pacify coldness in the body. Feeling cold is caused by vitiated ''[[vata]]'' and ''[[kapha]]''. ''Ushnavirya'' drugs pacify ''[[vata]]'' and ''[[kapha]]'' while removing coldness. As such they are useful in curing fever with rigour and in ''[[vata]]-[[kapha]]'' disorders.
#''Udaradaprashamana'' (alleviating allergic rashes): Allergic rashes on skin that look like insect bite are called ''udarda''. Drugs that cure ''udarda'' are known as ''udaradaprashamana''. In this disease, vitiated ''[[vata]]'' and ''[[kapha]]'' are predominant and have partial involvement of ''[[pitta]]''. So ''udaradaprashamana'' drugs pacify all the three ''[[dosha]]s''.
#''Angamardaprashamana'' (alleviating malaise/bodyache): ''Angamarda'' is a cardinal sign of ''vatika'' disorders that manifest specially in the stage of ''dhatukshaya'' or general debility. Most of the drugs of this group possess ''madhura-snigdha'' properties that are opposite to the properties of ''[[vata]]''. So, they promote strength and increase nutrition of ''[[dhatu]]s''. As such these drugs restore the natural functions of the body and therefore called ''angamardaprashamana''.
#''Shoolaprashamana'' (anti-spasmodic, anticolic, analgesic): The root-cause of ''shoola'' is ''[[vata]]''. Natural movement of the intestines is altered by vitiated ''[[vata]]'' and it moves in the ''pratiloma-gati'' (i.e., in the reverse manner). Drugs that pacify ''[[vata]]'' in the abdomen and promote the passing out of flatus and stool while removing colic are called ''shoolaprashamana''. This group of drugs includes ''shadushana'' type of medicines/herbs.
#''Shonitasthapana'' (hemostatics and blood purifiers): Drugs that promote the quality of blood by enhancing its formation, alleviating abnormalities and checking bleeding are called ''shonitasthapana''. ''Shonitasthapana'' drugs could be categorized as follows:
##''Raktaposhan'' (haematinic)
##''Raktastambhaka'' (haemostatic)
##''Raktaprosadana'' (blood purification)
#''Vedanasthapana'' (relieving pain sensations): In [[Ayurveda]] , the word ''vedana'' is said to provide a general feeling of sensation. It is of two types – ''sukhatmaka'' (pleasant) and ''dukhatmaka'' (unpleasant). [Cha.Sa.[[Sharira Sthana]] 1/133] As such ''vedanasthapana'' means drugs that stabilize sensory sensations in the body. They are useful in conditions where a sensation is lost or damaged due to various reasons. These drugs also relieve pain and bring body back to normalcy.
#''Sanjnasthapana'' (re-establishing consciousness): Drugs that resuscitate or revive the sense of consciousness are called ''sanjnasthapana''. Such drugs overcome the effect of losing consciousness or fainting and help the patient in regaining consciousness.
#''Prajasthapana'' (conception promoting, foetus stabilizing): These drugs promote conception by enhancing the health of the reproductive organs before pregnancy and providing adequate nourishment to the foetus to help nurture it and keep it healthy.
#''Vayasthapana'' (stabilize age or anti-ageing): These drugs delay the aging process and prevent senility. Most drugs in this group contain natural antioxidants and free radical inhibitors.
An important inference from the description of these classes is that while several drugs may perform one action (and therefore be grouped together by a specific function or property), a single drug can also perform many actions depending upon its properties, interactions with the biological systems, and other circumstances. Samyoga stands for an optimum combination of drugs that helps achieve maximum efficacy. Prayoga is the application of drugs takes into consideration time, constitution (of the patient), and disease to achieve maximum efficacy.
The following list of 256 medicines (herbs) are permuted and combined to formulate a total of 500 preparations:
An important inference from the description of these classes is that while several drugs may perform one action (and therefore be grouped together by a specific function or property), a single drug can also perform many actions depending upon its properties, interactions with the biological systems, and other circumstances. ''Samyoga'' stands for an optimum combination of drugs that helps achieve maximum efficacy. ''Prayoga'' is the application of drugs takes into consideration time, constitution (of the patient), and disease to achieve maximum efficacy.
