Applied aspects and critical analysis of Grahi and Stambhana Karma
Abstract
This critical review provides a comprehensive description of the basic concepts involving Grahi and Stambhana actions. In this study, the Grahi, Stambhana Karmas and the Grahi, Stambhana Dravyas mentioned in Bhavaprakasha Nighantu are thoroughly analysed. To extract pertinent information on Dravyas and Grahi and Stambhana activities from Bhavaprakasha Nighantu, a systematic methodology was used. The results were gathered by consulting a number of traditional Ayurvedic literatures. This review highlights the physiological principles that underlie the activities of Stambhana and Grahi, as well as their clinical value. This critical analysis provides insightful information about the therapeutic potential of related Dravyas in Ayurvedic medicine as well as the tenets of Grahi and Stambhana Karmas. Although there is need and scope for further research to validate the potential of these Dravyas.
