<big>'''Abstract'''</big>
<div style="text-align:justify;">[[Kalpa Sthana]] of [[Charaka Samhita]] deals with different dosage forms of ''vamana'' (emetics) and ''virechana'' (purgative) drugs along with their therapeutic application in various diseases. Six emetic drugs - ''Jimutaka'', ''Ikshvaku'', ''Dhamargava'', ''Kutaja'' and ''Kritavedhana'' are described in separate chapters. Dridhabala who redacted [[Kalpa Sthana]] (section on pharmaceutics) has described individual drugs with synonyms. Chakrapani opines that ''Madanaphala'' is relatively safe in comparison to other emetic drugs and rest of the drugs produce more untoward side effects in the ascending order. Fruits and flowers of ''Jimutaka'' are used as emetics and other parts like leaves and branches of this plant are not useful in ''Vamanakarma'' (therapy of emesis).In this chapter, 39 recipes of ''Jimutaka'' processed in various media like milk, alcohol, water etc. are enumerated. In the context of ''vati'' (pill) preparation it is suggested to prepare them in the size of ''Kola'' (1/2 ''tala''-6gm)in comparison to ''Madanaphala'' (in pill form) which can be administered in the quantity of ''Haritaki'' (2 ''tola''), ''Vibhitaki'' (1 ''tola'') and Amalaki (1/2 ''tola''). It appears that ''Jimutaka'' produces emesis relatively in small doses. ''Jimutaka'' is bestowed with ''Tridoshaharakarma'' (curing vitiated conditions of ''Tridosha'') and indicated in the treatment of ''Jwara'' (fever), ''Pittashleshma jwara, Vatapitta jwara, Swasa'' (breathlessness including asthma), ''Hikka'' (Hiccough), ''Arochaka'' (Anorexia), ''Kasa'' (Cough), ''Pandu'' (Anaemia), ''Rajayakshma'' (Wasting diseases) and such other diseases. Drugs like ''Guduchi, Yashti, Kovidara, Karbudara, Nipa, Vidula, Bimbi, Shanapushpi, Sadapushpi, Pratyakpushpi, Nimba, Kutaja, Aragwadha, Swadukantaka'' (''Babbul'' or ''Gokshura''), ''Patha, Gunja, Patala, Murva, Jivaka, Rishabhaka, Ikshu, Shatavari, Madanaphala'' etc. are also incorporated along with ''Jimutaka'' in various formulations.
