Abstract
Vasa-Guduchchadi Kasayam is a widely used drug in Ayurveda. As per Ayurvedic literature 'Sahasrayoga', Vasa- guduchchadi Kasayam is a water decoction or water extract of a group of herbs, namely Vasaka, Guduchi, Triphala, Kutaki, Bhunimba, Nimba. It is mainly indicated in Pittaja Pandu. In this study, a lipid-lowering activi- ty of Vasa-guduchchadi Kasayam has been found in a case of hyperlipidaemia. Vasa-Guduchchadi Kasayam was prescribed as sole medication in that case not as co-therapy with any other conventional drug.
