# BIBLIOGRAPHY
The word ‘ Dravya guna’ means the science dealing the properties
And actions of drugs. This is counterpart of modern pharmacology.
The object of dravya guna is to provide a scientific foundation for
Therapies and to increase the resources of the art of healing. The
Exact way in which a drug changes the decreased condition can
Often be followed only imperfectly in man and hence, resource
has to be made to experiment on healthy and diseased.
Acharya chakra in sutra 1/122. Says that the last physician is
One who knows the drugs pharmocognostically,pharmacologically
And the every othe respect.
The drug,whose name,forms and properties are not properly
Administrated will cause disaster.
Hence full knowledge of the drug is essential
Acharya chakra has classified the dravya as per the pharmacological actions

Into 50 mahakashayas (50 groups of dravyas) of herbs each with a particular

Action.

These 50 Mahakashaya seves as a ready section for the practice of ayurvedic

Medicine.

 CONCLUSION

The drugs in shonitha sthapana mahakashaya are predominal

Of madhura and Kashaya rasa and thus helps in Raktha vardhaka

Sthambaka

Research on drugs like MADHURA , GICHARSA ETC

Because, from the study of the above drugs. I find that these

Drugs are Haemodtatics or stopping bleeding.

It also can help in restoring the proper quantity of blood.

Thus,these group of drugs on intergration with few more

Standard drugs can,improve the quality and standard of action.
