KANDUGHNA MAHAKASHAYA- A CRITICAL REVIEW
Padma Lochan Naik*, Mita Kotecha and Sumit Nathani
ABSTRACT The term "Kandughna Mahakashaya" (Anti-pruritic) refers to a class of ten medications that work on the Kandu. Kandu is a sign of several skin conditions indicated in Ayurveda. Acharya Charak listed Chandana, Nalada, Kritamala, Naktamala, Nimba, Kutaja, Sarsapa, Madhuka, Daruharidra, and Musta as the ten elements that make up Kandughna Mahakashaya, which is the fourteenth of the fifty Mahakashaya Gana. These ten ingredients, each of which is efficient on its own, combine their efforts to increase output. These plants have properties such as Snigdha, Ruksha, Guru, Laghu, & Tikshna Guna, Madhura, Katu, Tikta, Kashaya Rasa, Ushna & Sheeta Virya, Katu & Madhura Vipaka and Tridoshaghna properties. They heal Kandu because of these characteristics. The goal of this essay is to describe Kandu therapies using Kandughna Mahakashaya. Keywords: Kandughna Mahakashaya, Kandu, Itching, Ayurveda.
