Bhaishajya Kaala (time of drug administration) is an important principle to be considered while treating a disease. Still hardly a handful of physicians are seen, who account for this. To highlight its imperial role in Chikitsa, there is an immense necessity to analyze this concept, which is the need of the hour. Bhaishajya Kaala is mainly explained in relation with Bala of Roga, Rogi, particular Dosha, Dooshya, and various other factors. The comprehensive understanding of this concept involves so many questions as, why there is a difference in the number of Aushdha Kaala?

Bilwadipanchamoola one of the important component of Panchapanchamoola, have entered the catalog of endangered plants. Procuring the roots of such huge plants, which ultimately leads death of the whole plant, is not less than an offence. Hence in the present study pharmacognostical and physicochemical analysis was made to find out whether aerial parts can be used in place of roots with the reference of API. The pharmacognostical evaluation shows pitted vessels, Prismatic crystals, lignified fibres. The Physicochemical analysis shows the presence of alkaloids, coumarine glycosides. The result shows that both stem bark and root bark are having similar pharmacognostical and chemical properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
