Abstract
- Ayurveda, an ancient science of medicine, describes pharmacodynamics of drugs based on the Rasa Panchaka that the drug possesses. Madhura Rasa (sweet taste) is one among the 6 tastes that Ayurveda accepts. Sushrutha Samhitha, one among the earliest authoritative treatise of Ayurveda authored by Acharya Sushrutha, known as “ Father of Surgery” has 109 references Madhura Rasa and its synonyms mentioned directly across all the Sthaanas of Sushrutha Samhitha. From the 109 references, 30 were from Sutra Sthaana, 4 from Nidana Sthaana, 8 from Shaareera Sthaana, 30 from Chikitsa Staana, none from Kalpa Sthaana and 37 from Uttara Tantra. A detailed analysis towards application of the right Dravya needs to be worked upon to make a difference in the way Madhura (Sweet taste) is looked upon in today’s world. Key words: Ayurveda, Sushrutha, Madhura Rasa, Clinical utility
