Abstract:

Introduction: Avaleha (Linctus) is a unique dosage form of Ayurveda that is frequently used in various disorders and as Rasāyana (Immunomodulators). Aṣṭāngavaleha is one such formulation being used for Śvāsa (Asthma), Jvara (Fever), Hikkā (Hiccup) and Kāsa (Cough). Aṣṭāngavaleha has not been mentioned in Brūhattrayī. It had been extensively reviewed from Vrndamādhava, Cakradatta, Vangasena, Ġadanigraha, Śārangadhara saṁhitā, Bhāvaprakāśa and Yogaratnākara. Screening through various texts revealed that Aṣṭāngavaleha has been mentioned in these treatises with few modifications like changes in Anupāna (vehicle) or few ingredients.

Keywords:Anupāna, Aṣṭāngavaleha, Avaleha, Powder, Śvāsa
