Ayurvedic Therapeutics

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

My friend and I are studying Ayurvedic Therapeutics, trying to

classify them according to the 6 prakritis Vata, pitta, kapha and

their mix,. In ayurveda there seems to be the following groups. We

use the yoga of herbs by David Frawley but we need something more

deeply a many herbs are described under more than one of the 15

groups. How is it in Kerala Ayurveda ? Any good links?

 

1. Krumighna karma: Antiparasitical and anthelmintic

2. Stambhana karma: Astringent herbs

3. Bitter Tonic and antipuretic

4. Vata-Anuloman: Carminative

5. Svedana karma: Diaphoretic

6.Mutrala karma: Diuretic

7. Raktabhisarana karma: Emmenagogues

8. Kasa-Svasahara- Expectorant and demulcent

9. Virechana karma: Laxative and purgative herbs

10. Nervine and antispasmodic

11. Dipana-pachana karma: Stimulent and digestive

12. Bhuhana karma: Nutritive Tonics

13.Rasajana karma: Rejuvenative tonic

14.Vajikarana: Aphrodisiacs

15. Rakta Shodhana karma: Alterative
