Tridosha Jwarahara Kashaya — Overview
Tridosha Jwarahara Kashaya is a remarkably simple three-drug formula: Sunthi (2 parts), Guduchi (6 parts) and Haritaki (4 parts). The decoction is cooled and taken with sugar for tridoshic sannipata fever.
Commentators note that the ratios are mnemonically encoded through the word Naga, which can mean man, three-headed snake, or elephant—yielding two hands, six eyes and four feet respectively to give the 2:6:4 ratio.
