Murvadi Agada-QC Analysis, Method of Preparation & its Uses in Current Scenario

Abstract

Murvadi Agada is a unique and useful formulation, which is specifically  prescribed for Agni Vikara’s. It is a compound herbal preparation that is  explained under the context of “Garopahat Paavaka” i.e. a condition which is  a result of impaired Agni caused due to administration of Gara visha. The  formulation is a sole contribution of Asthanga Kara’s which is not explainecd  elsewhere. Murvadi Agada has to be administered with Anupanas like Ushana  Jala, Takra, Mastu and Amla Rasa Dravyas. Gara visha condition in present  era can arise due to addition of toxic substances like animal excreta, toxic  medicines, viruddhaaushadhi etc to food substances. In current scenario all the  junk food, colouring agents, food additives, preservatives, packed food items  and drinks can be taken as Gara Visha. This may produce Agni Vikara’s (digestive disorders) like Sthoulya, Arsha, Attisara, Udara Rogas etc. Murvadi  Agada administered with proper Anupana can help in these diseases.
