  1. Dear Sir you mention doshaghnata as vata pitta while it should be kapha vata …. It is not so preferable in pittaja conditions….

  2. Namaste,sir!
    The above mentioned formulation is explained in Bhavaprakasha as just ‘Kankayana GUTIKA’, not Vati. I came across one more formulation ‘KANKAYANA VATI’ in Rasa Tantra Sara.
    Could please throw some clarity about this. Are these two same?

    Reply
    • Hi, Gutika and vati – both the terms are used to denote “tablet”.
      There will be minor difference in ingredients, for the same medicines in different text books. For example, Chyawanprash of Charaka Samhita is different than that of Sharangdhara Samhita.
