GANA VICHARAM IN SUSHRUTA SAMHITA: A REVIEW
Vineetha V.*
Abstract The ancient Ayurvedic texts employ a unique classification system known as ‘Gana’, or therapeutic drug groups, to streamline the understanding and application of medicinal substances. While the Charaka Samhita is renowned for its Dashemani Ganas, the Sushruta Samhita offers a more procedural and disease-centric approach to Gana Vicharam. This review explores the organization, application, and clinical relevance of Gana Vicharam (Group-wise analysis of drugs) in Sushruta Samhita, with a special focus on Sutrasthana and its implications in surgical and medical therapeutics.
