A critical review of Sushruokta Gana

Abstract

As we have seen in Charak Samhita, any Vaidya can use the dashemani gana in case he isn’t able to use his mind to get to proper choice of herb while treating subjects, similarly Sushrutacharya has mentioned in Sushrut Samhita, drug combinations under the name of sushrutokta Gana. These Ganas are helpful for immediate use by the individuals in case of distress in choice of drug. The basic concept of both groups is same. Here we have classified Sushrutokta gana and precisely in which dosha disequilibrium it can be used for optimal results.
