Dhatusamya Kriya is the Prayojana of Charaka Samhita and to achieve this, various measures/components/factors have been explained. Aushadha Dravya is one such factor which has occupied major place of Chikithsa as well as preventive aspects. Classification of Aushdha Dravya is unique in Charaka Samhita. In Shadvirechana Shatashritiya Adhyaya of Suthrasthana, 10 drugs of similar Karma have been grouped under specific name like Jeevaniya Mahakashaya, Brumhaniya Mahakashaya and so on. Shramahara Mahakashaya is one among them. As such there is no references for Shrama as a Vyadhi. Hence the understanding of mode of action of Shramahara Dravya is necessary in order to incorporate them in clinical practices. Therefor in the present article, an attempt has been made to critically analyse the Dravya of Shramahara Mahakashaya.
