A REVIEW ON THE THERAPEUTIC ROLE OF VADAM TAILA THROUGH NASYA (PRUNUS AMYGDALUS BATSCH) IN AVABAHUKA AS A SINGLE DRUG
Joydip Tripathi*, Sonal Bhola and Rishi Vashishth
ABSTRACT
The concept of using only one herb for the purpose of treatment of
diseases or as health supplements is very rapidly spreading all over the
world. Ayurveda takes into account the action of drug in it‟s entirely. It
holds that the action of the whole drug is often different from that
anyone of its constituents considered separately. And is using single
drug as primary aspect of treatment in different forms to increase the
efficacy of the medicines according to the feasibility of the patient i.e.
according to patient‟s agni, bala, dosha-dushya status, disease status
etc. Now- a- days single drug therapies are preferred because:- the nonavailability
of reliable & standardised drugs, their high cost &
ambiguity in the identity of the ingredients used are few of the major
problems encountered today in the utilisation of compound drugs in
Ayurveda. There is, thus an urgent need to re-emphasize the use of single plant drug
formulations recorded in the classical texts.
Keywords: Ayurveda, single drug, vadam taila, avabahuka, etc.
