A REVIEW ON MARICHABHAYA CHOORNA IN KAPHAJA KASA
Abstract
Kasa is a very common clinical condition increasingly prevalent now a days regardless of age, season and gender. While explaining the samprapti of Kasa in classical texts, the derangement of prana, udana and apana vayu is been told as the cause.To and fro movement of air through pranavaha srotas is the vital sign of life, the normalcy of which suggests health. Uchwasa and niswasa which are the unique signs of life is disturbed in the disease kasa. Among the five types of kasa told in ayurvedic texts kaphajakasa is the commonest one seen one in the OPDs. Marichabhaya choorna is a classical formulation told in Chikitsamanjari under Kasadhikara. Among the two drugs, Maricha with its pramathi karma does lekhana of upalitha kapha in the srotas and Abhaya with it vatanulomana corrects the gati of the vata and thus helps in samprapthi vighattana. As per the reference a single Abhaya and 10 numbers of Maricha in churna form, administered along with warm water as a single dose at night after food.
