Addiction is a chronic brain disorder characterized by compulsive dependence on a substance or behavior, exceeding voluntary control. It involves both psychological and physiological reliance, often leading to severe personal and social consequences. Despite its harmful effects, individuals continue their addictive behaviors, making recovery challenging. Sudden withdrawal from addictive substances can trigger psychosomatic disorders, further complicating the rehabilitation process. Material And Method This article is based on clinical applications of ADDICTION KILLER ARK, along with insights from various clinical studies on drug addiction, withdrawal, and its management, as documented in Ayurvedic texts. References have been drawn from Ayurvedic Samhitas with their commentaries, as well as textbooks on Ayurveda and modern medicine, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

Abrupt withdrawal can lead to psychosomatic disorders, further hindering rehabilitation. The study administered a daily dose of 5-10 ml of ADDICTION KILLER ARK (empty stomach in the morning and evening before meal. Result: Ayurveda, the ancient science of healing, offers a vast repository of herbal, mineral, and herbo-mineral formulations for the prevention and treatment of diseases, including addiction and withdrawal from substance abuse. Ayurveda, the ancient healing science, provides a rich reservoir of herbal, mineral, and herbo-mineral remedies for preventing and treating diseases, including addiction and substance withdrawal. Shrikhandasav should be gradually replaced and tapered off in alcohol dependence. For cocaine and tobacco addiction, coca herbal tea and a self-prepared ARK of ajwain and tobacco should be administered in a controlled, tapering manner. Additionally, symptomatic treatment with appropriate medications, psychological counseling, Abhyanga, Shiro-Abhyanga, Shirodhara, yoga, and meditation play a crucial role in addiction recovery and should be integrated into the rehabilitation process. Additionally, ADDICTION KILLER ARK showed remarkable effectiveness in treating alcoholism and aiding in the gradual reduction of alcohol consumption. Over a period of 60 consecutive days, the results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement (P < 0.05) in the treatment of alcoholism among alcohol-dependent patients.
