The period of November and December which corresponds to

Margshirsha and Paush months in Hindu calender, is known as
Hemant Rhutu. It is the last season of Visarga Kala and marks the
beginning of winter. As Sun is in Dakshinayan, sunrays are less
intense in this season. Increased temperature of Sharad Rhutu
decreases in this season and weather becomes cool.
Jatharagni, enhanced due to increased coldness in the atmosphere,
improves appetite & digestion of food that is consumed. Diet with
Guru, Snigdha properties and in large quantity can also be easily
digested in this season.
Due to good physical strength as well as Jatharagni along with
balanced state of Dosha, occurrence of diseases is less likely in this
season. But if the diet is not taken as per the need of Jatharagni
(i.e consumption of food in less quantity, with Laghu and Ruksha
Properties) it leads to vitiation of Vata Dosha. Faulty diet and lifestyle
along with cold weather can cause increase of Kapha Dosha as well.
Hence diseases such as Vatavyadhi, Shwasa, Kasa are more likely
to occur in this season. Enhancement of symptoms can be seen in
persons who are already suffering from these diseases.
To prevent aggravation of Vata and Kapha Dosha due to cold weather
and to maintain balanced state of Dosha, it is necessary to follow
regular exercise and Yoga regimen along with appropriate diet.

is unable to perform intercourse due to Indriya
Dourbalya. In Klaibya Vyadhi various deformities
of reduced sexual activity are seen which include

beneficial in these conditions due to its Balya and
Vrushya properties. It is especially effective when
taken with Kalpas like Makardhwaj Gutika.

Vandhyatva in men. In such cases Vanga Bhasma
administered with Shukravardhak Dravyas like
Vidarikanda, Ashwagandha, Kapikacchu, Shilajit etc

Pittaj and Kaphaj type of Prameha. It effectively
clears the discoloration of urine and also reduces

Drakshasava
SDS Monograph No. 100006
Drakshasava, prepared from main ingredient
'Draksha', is an excellent Agnideepak, Pachak,
Mrudurechak and Tridoshashamak Asava Kalpa.
Drakshasava is especially effective Kalpa for
Annavaha Srotas, Rasavaha Srotas and Pranavaha
Srotas.
Important ingredients and properties Draksha - e#ee heueesecee.... Jee.met.6/113 Tridoshashamak

Agnimandya and Ama formation are considered as

main factors adversely affecting Annavaha Srotas.
Among the diseases caused by Agnimandya,
'Grahani' is considered as very difficult to treat.
Chronic nature of Grahani is the reason behind this.
Grahani has been mentioned as Sthana of Pachak
Pitta and Saman Vayu. Dushti of Grahani reflects
Vikruti of Pachak Pitta as well as Saman Vayu. DeVeb
ie=Ceeefle heeefle efJeJeseeefle cegeefle e... is the normal function

of Grahani which gets adversely affected due to

Dushti in Grahani. This causes improper digestion
of food & formation of qualitatively poor Aahar Rasa
as well. This causes inadequate nutrition of Dhatus,
which leads to condition of Dhatukshaya. Use of
Panchamrut Parpati or Rasa Parpati with Drakshasava
is beneficial in the treatment of Grahani Vyadhi.
Agnimandya and Vikruti in digestion are the causative
factors of Karshya Vyadhi. In this condition, lack of
Poshan results in Kshaya of Rasadi Dhatus which
gives rise to Karshya. In such a condition, Dravyas
with Agnivardhan and Santarpan properties should
be used. With Santarpan and Vrushya ingredient
like Draksha and prepared by Asava Kalpana,
Drakshasava provides Santarpan at the level of
Dhatu, which helps in reducing Karshya by improving
Dhatupariposhan Krama.

Vayu as well as Udana Vayu. This gives rise to Shwasa

and Kasa. In this condition, use of Drakshasava is
beneficial for Amapachan as well as Vatanuloman.
In Rajayakshma Vyadhi, especially in Anuloma type
of Rajayakshma developed from Jatharagnimandya
as well as Dhatvagnimandya, Kshaya of successive
Dhatus is seen. Patient becomes very weak, lethargic
and Ojaheen. In this condition, consumption of
Drakshasava helps to increase appetite, improve
digestion and provide appropriate Poshan to
Dhatus. This leads to increase in physical strength.
In Rajayakshma, the use of Suvarna Vasant Malati
and Sitopaladi Choorna alongwith Drakshasava is
very beneficial.
Draksha being an excellent Rasayan as well as
Vrushya Dravya, Drakshasava prepared from it acts
as a Balya Kalpa. Drakshasava is specifically useful
in different Dhatukshayajanya Vikar as well as in
Dhatuksheenata caused by long term illness.

Draksha being the Dravya which is Mrudu Virechak

especially with Pittavirechan and Pittaprashaman
properties, proves to be effective in Pittapradhan
Vyadhis like Jwara, Pandu and Kamala. In these
diseases Drakshasava can be used as Anupan
with other Aushadhi Dravyas. In Kamala Vyadhi,
use of Drakshasava with Arogyavardhani and is
Pandu Vyadhi use of Drakshasava with Abhraloha is
beneficial.

Kanakasava

Drakshasava is also useful in Pittapradhan Arsha

as well as Raktarsha. Its use helps in arresting the
bleeding along with reducing Daha, Shotha due to
Arsha.

In Kanakasava, word Kanak should be taken as

'Dhattur' and not as Gold. Kanakasava is an excellent
Shothaghna and Shoolaghna Kalpa and acts
effectively on Pranavaha and Annavaha Srotas.

Drakshasava proves to be effective in symptoms

due to vitiated Pitta especially
symptoms caused by Sama Pitta
including Trushna, Daha, Bhrama,
Shirahshool, Udarshool. When
Sootashekhar Rasa is given with
Drakshasava it gives more benefits.

Important ingredients and properties Dhattur - 'eCeMues<cekeC[gefeefceefJe<eehen:'

'eemelJeb JesieJeotOJe&JeelelJeb' - ceOegkees<eerkee, the disease in
which Vayu attains Urdhvagati is called as Shwasa
Vyadhi. In Shwasa Vyadhi, Shwasakashtata or
Shwasavarodha is the main symptom. Shwasan Gati
increases due to obstruction in Pranavaha Srotas.
Pranavaha Srotas Dushti caused by Vata Vruddhi and
Annavaha Srotas Dushti caused by Kapha Vruddhi
and Ama formation are two causative factors in
Samprapti of Shwasa Vyadhi. From the treatment
point of view, Vatadhikyajanya and Kaphadhikyajanya
or Margavarodhajanya are the two main types.
In Vatadushtijanya Shwasa, there is spasm of
Shwasavahini and in Margavarodhajanya Shwasa
Vikrut Kapha or Kleda in Shwasavahini interferes
with normal functioning of Prana-Udana Vayu.
Kanakasava is very effective in both the conditions.
Shuddha Dhattur present in Kanakasava helps in
bronchodilation by relieving bronchial spasm which
helps in normalizing the Gati of Prana and Udana
Vayu. Use of Kanakasava reduces inflammation
& irritation of Bronchi. Kanakasava also alleviates
Kapha and Kleda which are causative factors for
Margavarodha and also helps in Srava Shoshan.
In Vayuvruddhijanya Shwasa, Kanakasava proves
effective when used with 'Shwaskas Chintamani
Rasa' and when used with 'Mahalaxmivilas Rasa' it is
effective in Margavarodhajanya Shwasa. This helps
to normalize the
respiratory rate.

Dhattur proves beneficial in abdominal and intestinal
pain. Kanakasava is very effective Kalpa especially
for Parinamshool and Annadravakhyashool. In
this condition, Shankhavati can also be used with
Kanakasava.
In case of pain due to Ashmari

Triphala Choorna
S.D.S. Monograph No. 030015
Triphala Choorna prepared by combining three
ingredients namely Haritaki, Amalaki and Bibhitak
in equal quantities by weight is useful in various
ailments with different Matra, Kaal, and Anupan.

present in Triphala Choorna is Tridoshaghna,
Vranashodhan,
Vranaropan,
Sthothahar
and
Vedanasthapan. Amalaki is an excellent Rasayan,
Agnideepan, Anuloman, Yakrut Uttejak, Hrudya,

meJex<eg eemekeemes<eg kesJeueb Jee efyeYeerlekeced~ (Jee.efe. 3/172) it is an
excellent Kasahar by reducing Shwasanalika Shotha.
Notably Haritaki is Vataghna, Amalaki is Pittaghna &
Bibhitak is Kaphaghna.
Though Haritaki has dominant Kashaya Rasa, with
Prabhav it acts as Virechak. Along with destroying
hardness, Haritaki also digest undigested
components in the stool. That is why with
consumption of Triphala, stools are never eliminated
in undigested form. Due to this Anuloman property
of Haritaki, Triphala is effective in disrupting
the Samprapti in the diseases of Annavaha and
Purishvaha Strotas. All these properties of Haritaki
are incorporated in Triphala Choorna only when
Haritaki used while preparing the Choorna is
completely ripe and has the weight of 2 Karsh.
This means Bal Haritaki (Unripe fruit) should not
be used while making Triphala. Therefore Shree
Dhootapapeshwar Limited always use the Haritaki
having above mentioned properties while preparing
Triphala Choorna.
Thus Triphala has Trishoghna properties which by
itself is a pointer to being the best Rasayan.
