The substance, where a thick relationship exists between the Guna and Karma, is known as Dravya. The parcels and conduct have no identity or actuality without the substance and vice-versa. Dravya is one among the Chikistsa Chatushpada and occupies a position of significance just after the Bhishag (Physician). medicine as defined by WHO is any substance or product that's used or intended to be used to modify or to explore physiological systems or pathological status for the benefit of philanthropists. Ayurveda considers medicine (Dravya) as a whole and treats the case as a whole and believes that every substance in this macrocosm is Panchabhautika in nature. Acharya Charaka has observed," In the light of this knowledge, in the world no substance that may not be used as drug." Purposiveness and rationality are the two parameters to judge and use any substance as a drug. So, any substance or admixture of substances intended to be used internally or externally for the preservation & bastion of health and forestalment, mitigation, or cure of complaint of either man or other beast, is called Dravya. Both insalubrious and medicinal substances are Dravyas in this environment. This review gives an account of the current knowledge on morphology, Phytochemistry, and pharmacological aspects of Paribhadra(Erythrina variegata), also called Erythrina indica, a thorny deciduous tree that's generally seen all over India. A wide range of Phytochemical constituents has been extracted, mainly alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, and lectin. Different portions of this plant have been used in traditional drugs such as nervine calmative, anti-asthmatic, antacid, antiepileptic, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic exertion. Paribhadra also functions like a CNS depressant, smooth muscle relaxant, and hydrocholeretic. The present review work has been designed to interpret data on pharmacological actions, chemical compositions, traditional uses, Ayurvedic preparations & details of the medicinal plant Paribhadra from various Classical texts, Nighantus, and Contemporary textbooks.
