PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS OF KSHARAGADA - A POLY HERBAL ANTI-TOXIC FORMULATION Authors: Manuprasad K S , MESHRAM S AND MANDAL SD
ABSTRACT
Ksharagada is a formulation mentioned by Acharya Charaka and Acharya Sushruta as part of
Visha chikitsa. It is used to treat human poisoning from animals and vegetables, as well as
poison-induced illnesses. Agadas (anti-toxic formulations) are Ayurvedic formulations that
combat poisons or toxins and eradicate them from the body by their constitutional impact.
These drugs are exceedingly potent and have been found to be antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,
hepatoprotective, anti-mutagenic, antibacterial, and anthelminthic. Individually, some of these
medications have diuretic and diaphoretic effects that aid in toxin elimination. The primary
goal of this research paper is to examine the pharmaceutical investigation of Ksharagada (an
anti-toxic composition) as mentioned in Charaka Samhita.
