Abstract

Bioenhancers or Bio potentiators are those agents which do not show any pharmacological action of their own at the therapeutic dose used, instead, they when combined with the active drug, lead to the potentiation of the pharmacological activity of the Drug. “Bioenhancing activity” is considered as a revolutionary concept that is being researched and tested in various modern medicines, but its roots, in general, has been obtained from a classical system of
medicine called “Ayurveda”. In Ayurveda, the concepts which promote the mechanism of bio enhancing activity are of :- Yogavahi, Anupana, Bhaishajya kala, Rasayana, Various Yoga (Formulations), Purana Aushadhies, Penetration enhancers, Action augmenting drugs, Bhavana, and Process of Samshodhana. In this article, an attempt has been made to explain the concepts and mechanism of Yogavahi, and to throw light on the various drugs and processes mentioned in Ayurveda with Yogavahi property.
