Abstract

CONCEPT OF AGRAYA AUSHADH AND ITS UTILITY IN PRESENT ERA- A CONCEPTUAL STUDY

*Dr. Karuna Malviya, Dr. Muskan Soni, Dr. Purvi Pathak, Dr. Ishwar Raghuwanshi

ABSTRACT

Agraya Dravya described in Caraka Samhita (Sutrasthana 25), represents a unique ayurvedic concept that classifies superior substances, diets, regimens, and practices based on their best therapeutic efficacy. This review aims to systematically analyze the concept of Agraya Dravya and its clinical relevance. A classical literary review method was adopted, focusing primarily on Caraka Samhita with supportive ayurvedic principles. The Agarya classification includes Dravyas (Medicines), Ahara (Diet), Vihara (Lifestyle), Psychological factors, and Clinical practices. These are categorized based on their superior action in specific pathological or physiological conditions. The concept emphasizes context-based superiority rather than universal applicability. It also highlights preventive (Swasthavritta) and curative (Chikitsa) dimensions of ayurveda. Agraya Dravya serves as a clinical decision-making tool, guiding physicians in selecting the most effective intervention. Thus, it reflects ayurveda’s holistic, rational, and patient-centered approach.
