Abstract

Aharavarga Dravya and Aushadhavarga Dravya have been explained in Ayurveda to get an approach towards nutritional and medicinal values. Ayurveda explains dietary regimen for maintaining health and treatment of diseases. Ikshu Varga has been explained under Ahara Varga by the Brihatrayees which has got a very specific role in therapeutics and pharmaceutics as well. Ikshu is having properties Guru, Madhura Rasa, Brimhana and Vrushya. This establishes a strong base for Ikshu Vikaras being utilised in different formulations in different forms like as an ingredient, Anupana, binding agent. In daily routine these could be included under diet regimen because of their nutritional values and even they could prove to be beneficial in cases of malnutrition.
