Several drugs are prescribed for a single disease in Ayurveda. Often one drug is indicated in many diseases, with this type of information, the drugs indicated in a disease can be reclassified on the basis of pathogenesis, in order to understand the intensity of the efficacy and mode of action on par with ayurvedic methodology. Besides the pathological basis, the terminologies used to explain the effect of the drug should also be considered while working on the gradation of efficiency. Considering those points of view, the drugs indicated in skin diseases (KUSTHAS) have been reclassified in a newer way. |
