A REVIEW OF PRATYAUSHADHA DRAVYA AS PER AROGYA RAKSHA KALPADRUM
Dr. Shamli Khot* and Dr. Mahantesh R. Sajjanshetty M.D (AYU)
ABSTRACT
In Ayurveda, the concepts of Agni[1] (digestive fire) and ?ma[2] (toxic undigested metabolic residue) form the cornerstone of health and disease understanding. Impaired Agni, often caused by Adhy??ana[3] (eating before the previous meal is fully digested), leads to ?j?r?a (indigestion) and the accumulation of ?ma, which acts as the nid?na (cause) for many diseases. The Arogya Raksha Kalpadrum extensively details Pratyaushadha[4] (antidotal therapies) designed to rekindle Agni, alleviate ?j?r?a, and neutralize ?ma. This review critically explores these formulations’ role in restoring digestive balance and preventing disease progression arising from faulty eating habits and Agni dysfunction. By emphasizing the timely use of Pratyaushadha to correct metabolic disturbances caused by Adhy??ana and ?j?r?a, the study reinforces their essential role in safeguarding Arogya (health). The classical insights from Arogya Raksha Kalpadrum affirm the continuing relevance of these therapies in contemporary Ayurvedic clinical practice for effective management of digestive and toxin-related disorders.
