Abstract: Ancient acharyas of Ayurveda had an excellent knowledge of the properties and action of the single drugs. Through their deep insight they formulated enumerable yogas by the combination of these single drugs. Various research studies have proved the efficacy of these formulations. This article attempts to analyze the action of one such formulation Saindhavadya Ghruta, indicated for Apasmara and Graha Doshas in Yogaratnakara. In an experimental study undertaken, Saindhavadya Ghruta showed good anti-convulsant activity. It proves to be an excellent drug designing by the author. Previous studies indicated that all the ingredients of the preparation are independently having anti-convulsant action. Even the drugs used for murcchana have been studied to have anti-convulsant activity individually. Hence, it proves the synergistic action of the drugs combined in the formulation judiciously to pronounce the total action of the yoga.
