Abstract : The Ayurvedic pharmaceutics is comprised of primary preparations known as panchavidha kashaya kalpana and secondary preparations derived out of them. Vati or Gulika is one among the secondary preparations explained by Acharya Sharngadhara. Dhanwantaram Gulika is a formulation explained in Arogyakalpadruma and Sahasrayoga which is widely prescribed by Ayurvedic physicians to cure the diseases arising from vatavaigunya and srotorodha. The designated rasapanchaka analysis performed in this yoga revealed that the formulation is predominantly showing rooksha guna, katuvipaka, ushnavirya and kaphavata samana. The therapeutic action of Dhanwantaram Gulika may be substantiated with those outcomes acquired from its rasapanchaka analysis.
