ABSTRACT

Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana is the branch of Ayurved commonly termed as paraclinical branch which deals with production and standardization of Ayurvedic formulations. Rasaushadhis have always been considered a boon to these formulations due to their quick action, low dose, higher palatability and action even in dreadful conditions. Kharaliya Rasayan is the first type of Rasaushadhi which is comparatively easier to prepare and hence most extensively used by Ayurved practitioners in clinical practice. Hridayarnava Rasa is one such Kharaliya Rasayan which is found to be effective in ailments related to Heart. It has been extensively studied through various aspects. This paper aims to put forth its conceptual review in a critical format. As much as 9 books give reference of Hridayarnava Rasa, however the contents are more or less identical. Some texts opine to use it in all types of Heart diseases while some advice it in only Kapha Pradhan Heart disease. The design of Hridayarnava Rasa is comparatively easier to understand due to less number of contents and will definitely be helpful to understand larger formulations used in our day to day Ayurved clinical practice. Keywords: Hridayarnava Rasa, Rasaushadhis, Kharaliya Rasayan, Heart diseases
