Abstract

Aushadh Sevan Kala is the type of Avasthika Kala meant for the proper time of drug administration. 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. According to Acharya Charaka medicines having opposite properties of Desha (habitat), Matra (dose) and Kala (time) are able to cure the diseases easily. Acharya Charaka have stated some more factors to be taken into consideration while treating a patient such as Desha (region), Kala (time), Pramana (dose), Satmya (wholesomeness), Asatmya (unwholesomeness), Aahara (diet) and Aushadh (medicine). According to Acharya Charaka medicines with opposite properties than Dosha, Dushya and Nidan (causative factor) gives better result when used as a treatment. Agni, being the supreme factor for maintaining Dhatu Samya all the therapies are directed to maintain and preserve the potency of Agni. Aushadh Sevan Kala will help in food and drug interaction which is helpful to attain a quick and sustainable relief to the patient. Kala (time) is an important factor which must be taken into consideration while treatment. Our Acharyas have explained the relationship of Kaala and Dosha while treating a disease.
