The mode of action of Anuvasanopaga Mahakashaya is understood after reviewing various articles and samhitas. Each drug was separately explored for its place in different Mahakashaya and gana, etymological derivation, other important indications and relevant scientific studies on the plants. Anuvasanopaga Mahakashaya contains drugs which are mostly predominant in madhura and tikta rasa, laghu and ruksha guna, ushna virya. By reviewing its mode of action, it is concluded that drugs of Anuvasanopaga Mahakashaya are very helpful in treatment of Vatavikara.
