ABSTRACT

Trisutra Ayurved is of prime importance while treating a patient. Hetu (causative factors), Linga (signs and symptoms) and Aushadh (medicine) are considered as Trisutra Ayurved. The administration of drug at proper time means consideration of concept of ―Aushadha Sevana Kala‖ helps to acquire optimum health benefits of administered drugs. The treatment of diseases with medicine requires consideration of various factors such as; Desha, Kaala, Pramana, Satmya, Asatmya, Pathya & Apathy. Kaala is one of the concepts which can be elaborated as Aushadha Sevana Kala resembling time of drug administration. Drug should be administered as per the specific condition of Agni so Dhatu-samyata & balancing of Doshas not get affected. The concepts of Aushadha Sevana Kala help to prevent any adverse food & drug interaction. Aushadhsevana Kala is an important principle to be considered while treating a disease. Still hardly a
handful of physicians are seen, who account for this. To highlight its imperial role in Chikitsa, there is an immense necessity to analyze this concept, which is the need of the hour.
