        abstract = {Angamarda is frequently reported and can result from prolonged standing, walking, heavy workouts, or overexertion. It is usually widespread and may be accompanied by symptoms like fatigue and stress. Such pain may interfere with day-to-day activities, rest, and movement. As a result, it can significantly affect one’s overall functioning and well-being. Pain may range in severity—mild, moderate, or intense—and could be short-term (acute), recurring (intermittent), or persistent (chronic).
According to Acharya Charaka, in his classical Ayurvedic text Charaka Samhita, a group of ten herbs known as Angamarda Prashaman Mahakashaya is recommended for alleviating body pain. This group is described in the Sutrasthana, specifically under Shadvirechana Shatashritiya Adhyaya. Angamarda Prashaman Mahakashaya is very effective in treating Angamarda.
Charaka, in Sutrasthana, specifically in the fourth chapter titled Shad Virechana Shatashritiya Adhyaya, details 500 herbs categorized into 50 groups, each with 10 herbs. These 50 categories are referred to as Mahakashayas. They are beneficial for cleansing both inside and outside the body.
Every organism experiences different ailments. Besides illnesses, strenuous work, injuries, and aging are additional sources of different types of pain. Angamarda Prashaman Mahakashaya is a top herbal formulation sought after for its effectiveness in the pain relief market. The dravyas (herbs) in Angamarda Mahakashaya possess qualities that pacify Vata. Vata dosha is responsible for muscular spasms and body pain. The formulation can be used both internally and externally and is highly effective in alleviating pain.},
