ABSTRACT
The word “Mishraka Gana” is derived from two words; “Mishraka” means mixture or combination and “Gana”means group. Our ancient Acharayas classified drugs on the basis of similar morphological characters (Aakriti Sadharmya), properties (Guna Sadharmya) and therapeutic uses (Karma Sadharmya) into groups known as Ganas. This combination of two or more drugs in a group is called as Mishraka Gana.
