DRUG REVIEW
Etymological derivation of the word “DRUG” is from the French word “DROGUE”.
It may be defined as “any substance which when taken by a living organism may modify one or more functions”.
W.H.O has given a more comprehensive definition as “Drug is any substance or product that is used or intended
to be used to modify or explore physiological systems or pathological status for the benefit of the recipient”.
Ayurveda describes four basic factors, which are most essential for advocating proper treatment. Among these
four factors dravya (drug) comes next to bhishak that is the second important thing to treat the diseases. The
drug review is very much essential in Ayurveda.
Under this heading Chagaladya Ghritam along with the drugs used for the preparation is reviewed.

The term Mamsa is commonly used to denote muscle, flesh or meat. In Ayurveda literature synonyms of

includes Pishita, Taras, Palala, Rakta-Teja, Medaskuta, Kravyam, Aamisha etc.
According to Acharya Charaka quantitative measure of vasa (Mamsa Sneha) in human body is three Anjali
pramana. Mamsa is nourished and maintained by sara Bhaga of Rasa and Rakta Dahtu. Mamsa dhatu possesses
Rakta varna and predominant of pruthvi mahabhuta. During metabolic transformation, Rakta dhatu is converted
into Mamsa dhatu. In the process upadhatu, vasa and twacha being upadhatu of Mamsa dhatu covers the whole
body. Lepana (covering) and meda pushti (nourishment of medodhatu) are primaryimportant functions ascribed
to Mamsa dhatu, Sira (veins), snayu (ligaments), Asthi (bones), and uttaotara dhatu (tissue) development.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Ajamamsa:
Among all the mamsavarga, Ajamamsa considered as
best one, especially in shosha condition. Its
doshaghnata being Tridoshashamaka, Guna: guru,
slaskhna, kinchit sheet aevum snigdha,
sarvadhatuvardhaka and Anabhishyandhi, Vipaka:
Madhura, veerya-ushna, Rogaghnata: peenasa,
kshaya.
It is easy for the digestion improves muscle bulk
of shosha patient in classics they have mentioned
‘mamsenamamsavrudhi’ where dhatu kshayais
noticed in Rajayakshmarogi by consuming of this
Ajamamsa we can restore the mamsa dhatu
kshaya.
It is not only improves mamsa dhatu also improves
sarvadhatukshaya, it will act as bacteriostatic of
tuberculi bacteria in the body.
Goat meat is high protein healthy red meat full of
vitamins & minerals. Not only is it a great source of
protein, but Goat meat is also full of vitamins B6,
B12, C, E, A, & K, as well as Iron, Calcium,
Phosphorus, Zinc, Copper, Selenium, Manganese,
Potassium & sodium.
Why goat meat is most superior in Tubercular
patients? Is because of – while red meat is
known to be high with saturated fat that increases
cholesterol levels and leads to heart disease, Goat
meat is said to have very low of saturated fat and
will pose no harm to heart health& goat meat is
leaner than other meats. It has very low calories.
