Abstract

Introduction: Ayurveda has mentioned many Kalpanas, one among them is Paniya Kalpana (medicated drinking  water). It comes under Upakalapana (derivative) of Kwatha (process of medicated liquid). It is regarded as the most  beneficial and potent because it is very easy to digest and readily absorbed by our bodies. Dosha (one which governs  and maintains the health), Dhatu (fundamental tissues that constitute the human body), and Mala (metabolic end  products) are the components of Sharira (human body), which is governed by Agni (digestive fire). In a healthy  state, Sharira (human body) maintains regular physiological functioning; when it is impaired, Sharira (human body)  results in various ailments. Shadangapaniya is a special formulation that controls all the aforementioned aspects.  Six herbs, including Musta, Parpataka, Ushira, Chandana, Udichya, and Nagara, make up the ShadangapaniyaMaterials and methods: The classic Ayurveda literature, including the Charaka Samhita, Sushrutha SamhitaAshtanga Hridaya, and Bhavprakasha Niganthu books of Dravyaguna Vignana, and other NighantusResult and Discussion: Shadangapaniya not only acts on Jwara (fever) but also is useful in various conditions and  as well as on various systems. For example, we can give in Rakthapitta (bleeding conditions), Atisara (diarrhea and  dysentery), Ati sweda (excessive perspiration), and Trishna (thirst), which will be discussed with references from  classical textbooks. Conclusion: Maintaining the equilibrium state of Dosha (one which governs and maintains the health), Dhatu  (fundamental tissues that constitute the human body) Mala (metabolic end products), and Agni (digestive fire) is the  fundamental goal of all Ayurvedic treatments for ailments. Shadanga Paniya (medicated drinking water made up of  six herbs) is a distinctive and popular recipe that preserves the above-mentioned state of equilibrium.
