Abstract

The concept of Trisutra has been specified in Ayurveda for the fulfilment of Swasta Parayana and Athura Parayana.[1] Among them Bheshaja plays a major tool in treating diseases. References of different Oushadha Kalpanas are mentioned for internal as well external purposes. One among them is Varti Kalpana (Ayurvedic suppositories) which is derivative of Vati Kalpana. Varti Kalpanas are meant for local applications and helps in eliminating the Sthanika Doshas (site of administration). Visual disturbances are described in the context of Timira, Kacha and Linga Nasha. Ancient scholars have advocated different Varti/Anjana application in Timira stage itself. One such significant ocular therapeutic formulation is Nagarjuna Varti.[2] It consist of Rasoushadhis like Tamra Bhasma, Tutta and other drugs like Rasanjana, Prapoundarika, Yashtimadhu, etc. which can play a vital role in various bio-chemical events in the body as well as eyes. They act as catalyst, co-factor for enzyme etc. These complexes help in exerting faster action of the drug and have a longer shelf life. Its benefit even in Netra Chikitsa is in different folds.
