== Introduction ==

''Dhamargava'' is a ''vamaka'' (emetic) drug. Its synonyms are ''karkotaki, kothaphala, mahajalini'' and ''rajakoshataki''. Its tender leaves, flowers and fruits are used for inducing [[vamana]] (emesis). Two types of ''dhamargava'' are found one is ''tikta'' (bitter) and other ''madhura'' (sweet). ''Tikta'' variety is wild and used as ''aushadha'' (medicine). ''Madhura'' variety is used as ''shaka'' (vegetable).<ref> Dravyaguna- Vigyana, Vol.II, written by Prof. P.V. Sharma, Chaukhambha Bharati Academy, Varanasi, Reprint 1998, 382.</ref>Predominant ''mahabhuta'' in ''vamaka'' drugs are ''agni'' and ''vayu''. By its ''ubhaytobhagahara'' (upper and lower) ''prabhava'' it is ''vamaka'' in nature.

''Dhamargava'' is one of nineteen ''phalini dravyas''. [Cha. Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 1/82] It is used in [[vamana]] and asthapana [[basti]].[Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 1/85] It is also explained in ''vamaka dravyas''.[Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 2/7]. It is used as drug of pakvashaya shodhana [[basti]]. [Cha. Sa. [[Sidhi Sthana]] 10/25-27]

Rishi Gautam gives his opinion that ''dhamargava'' is best drug because of its [[kapha]]-[[pitta]] nashaka'' property.[Cha. Sa. [[Siddhi Sthana]] 11/7]. According to Maharshi Atreya fruit of ''dhamargava'' is best for ''pandu'' (anemia) roga.[Cha. Sa. [[Siddhi Sthana]] 11/12]

Pluck the flower of ''pundarika'' (sacred lotus), ''nalada'' (''khaskhas'' grass variety of lotus Nymphaea alba Linn.) and ''kumuda'' (Indian red water lily) and sprinkle it with fine powder prepared out of ''dhamargava'' fruit. After dusting the flower with powder of ''dhamargava'' give to the patient to inhale the smell. A mixture of this sort will go quickly to the heart (i.e. the sensory feeling area of the brain) and its veins when smelt. Patient should smell it repeatedly this process hastens the emesis. It is by such a formulation alone (''anenaiva kalpana'') that a person vomits out comfortably.[ Cha. Sa. [[Kalpa Sthana]] 4/11]
