Time of Administration of Medicine as said by Susruta



Author(s): Dr. Dilip Kr Goswami

Abstract:

Medicine can be considered as the most important tool for treatment. Expertise of a physician is dependant upon the factors like accuracy in diagnosis, assessment of the state of the patient (physical constituent, habit, tolerability etc.), selection of medicine, application of medicine with special reference to form and time which is followed by assessment of the result. All these mentioned factors are important to attain success in treatment. Wrong decision on any one of these factors causes failure of the effort of the physician. Hence an illustrative discussion on the time of medicine administration (Aushadhakala) is felt important. Though all the Ayurvedic scholars have thrown light on the topic then also, with the aim to avoid unexpected length of the article, only the concept of Susruta is considered under the perview of the present discussion.
