Abstract

Folklore Visha Vaidhyas have explained numerous Agada Yogas which can be given in Visha conditions. Kottam Ramachadi Agada being one among the Yogas, it has been explained in the context of Lootha Visha Chikitsa. This formulation is mentioned in Prayoga Samuchayam by Kochunni Thamburan in the context of Lootha Visha Chikitsa. It has four ingredients and is administered as Pana (internal administration) with milk as Anupana and as Lepa (external application). Lepana (external application) is widely practiced among folklore Visha Vaidhyas even in this present era. This paper is an attempt to make a review on the formulation Kottam Ramachadi Agada.
