Action of ingredients
All four rasoushadhas are known for dhatuvardhaka & having balya property.
- Here rasa sindhura is the main drug which is kupi pakwa rasa, which has a very strong penetrative effect ( ushna virya ).
- Palandu (onion ) is said to be vrushya. Even though it has katu rasa and ushna virya & not having even gunas with shukra dhatu, it is having madhura vipaka, ushna virya. The penetration power of this drug causes vrushya property.
- Rasa sindhura acts like a vehicle for naga bhasma and abhraka bhasma to produce the desired effect on shukradhatu, rasa sindhura itself is also dhatu poushtika.
- About naga bhasma a quote says “ nagesho nagabalado ‘ it gives bala to the organs situated in muladhara chakra, the god of which is vasukhi, i.e naga the serpent power. This is the reason why the God Subrahmanya is worshipped for ‘ ishta santana’.
- The bhavana dravyas selected here are dhatura and vijaya both of them having madaka, vyavayi and shukra sthambhaka, and are used in dhwaja bhanga. Yashti madhu is rasa dhatu poshaka, artava vikara shamaka, garbha poshaka & garbhashaya balya. It is known for its progesterone hormone balancing property, that is why shatavari and yashtimadu ksheerapaka are used in first trimester of pregnancy. Nagavalli is another drug having Kamottejaka character .
