Abstract

Introduction: Pippali (long pepper), Kshara (alkali) andLavana (salt) are referred to as “Trini Dravyani Na Ati Upayunjita” by Charakacharya. It is quoted that when these Dravyas are consumed in excess produces ill-effects to the body. In present era people are going blank in the context of differentiating greed and need of the body. So people are going behind the fast food (spicy and salty food). It makes food delicious. It is used as an appetizer and digestive agent. The National Academy of Sciences United States recommended that adult dietary sodium intake should be below 2300 mg/day with 1200 to 1500 mg/day being considered an adequate intake for optimal health. Charakacharya mentioned excessive intake of Lavana leads to Khalitya. As Lavana is having Ushna and Teekshna property, it does Pitta Prakopa leading to Khalitya. Hence the study has been taken up as an attempt to assess the role of excessive intake of Lavana leading to Khalitya. Aims and Objectives: To review the literatures on Trini Dravyani Na Ati Upayunjita, Lavana, Pippali, Kshara and disease Khalitya and to evaluate the effect of Atisevana of Lavana as a causative factor for Khalitya. Results: In classics excessive intake of Lavana is said as one of the causative factor leading to Khalitya. This is revalidated by the results obtained. Conclusion: Survey study conducted on 100 patients of Khalitya provides significant impact of Lavana in causing Khalitya.
