Abstract

Agada means the medicaments which have antitoxic properties. They are used to combat Gada which means disease, discomforts, pain, or morbid conditions produced by any type of the poison. For the management of different poisons many formulations are mentioned in Ayurveda. Acharaya Vagbhatta has mentioned so many formulations in Keetlootadivishpratishedham Adhyay of Ashtanghrudayam Uttarsthana. One of those formulation is Padmakagada, which is indicated in the treatment of all types of insect bite (Keet Visha and Loota Visha). Padmakagada can be used in different forms like Nasya (Nasal instillation), Dhoom (medicated smoke), Abhyanga (massage), Paan (drink) etc. It contains 5 ingredients including Priyangu, Haridra, Daruharidra, ghee and honey. Easy availability of its ingredients and simplicity of the preparation and preservation of the formulation may encourage the physician to use this formulation. Here is an effort has been made to review Padmak Agada in order to its pharmacological properties for its medicinal use.
