Ayurveda describes detailed line of treatment for <em>Tamaka</em> <em>shwasa</em> which includes <em>shodhana</em>, <em>shamana</em>, and <em>brihana</em> for <em>apunarbhava</em>. <em>Shamana</em> <em>dravyas</em> indicated in tamaka shwasa should be <em>kaphavatashamaka</em>, <em>amapachana</em> and <em>anulomana</em>. <em>Maharasona</em> is a <em>dravya</em> possessing <em>katu madhur pradhan pancharasa, teekshna-ushna guna ushnaveerya, katuvipaka </em>and<em> vatakaphahara</em>. Total 30 patients of <em>Tamaka</em> <em>shwasa</em> were selected as per inclusion criteria and treated with <em>Maharasona</em> (<em>Allium</em> <em>porrum Lambinon et al.</em>) <em>Kalka</em> 3 grams twice a day before meals with water. Incidence of <em>agnimandya</em> and <em>kasa</em> was observed very much associated with <em>shwasa</em> and <em>kujanadhwani</em> as its cardinal symptom. <em>Maharasona</em> <em>kalka</em> showed significant improvement in symptoms like <em>shwasakruchrata</em>, <em>agnimandya</em>, <em>kaphanishtheevana</em>, <em>jwara</em> and <em>peenasa</em>. This improvement may be due to its above said <em>gunas</em>. Hence, from this study, it can be concluded that <em>Maharasona</em> is effective and can be safely used in the management of <em>Tamaka</em> <em>Shwasa</em>.</p> ER -
