Abstract
Many formulations in Rasashastra textbooks are indicated for allergic conditions like Bronchial Asthma. Ra- saushadhis are more effective than herbal preparations owing to their infinite shelf life, lower dose, faster action and palatability1. Kasankusha rasa is a Kharaliya preparation indicated in various conditions of Shwasa and Kasa as per the reference of Rasa Yoga Sagara2 which is composed of Hingula, Maricha, Mustha, Vatsanabha and Tankana. It is chosen for the present study, focusing on its Anti-Histaminic effect. Instead of using Kajjali which is a tedious procedure to prepare as in other formulations, this yoga contains ShuddhaHingula thus easing the pro- cedure. Hence, an attempt is made to validate the classical indications of the formulation to the current bio- medicine scenario. Keywords: Kasankusha rasa, Rasashastra, Shwasa ,Kasa, Anti-Histaminic activity
