subjectAbstract

The diseases in jyurveda are categorized into endogenous and exogenous. Infections exercise a major part among the exogenous categories. A vivid description of infectious diseases, their pathogenesis and treatment have been documented in ayurvedic treatise. Microbes are responsible factor for infection. So to combat the microbes and their newly developing strains is a great challenge. Though, the term microbes or microbial activity have not been clearly described in the text but similar concept, their functional activities and remedies have been vividly described. The study has been carried out for evaluation of the gram-negative activity of āragvadha (Cassia fistula Linn), eranda (Ricinus communis Linn.) and udumbara (Ficus glomerata Roxb.)
