RELAVANCE OF KARKIDAKA KANJI•Kanji is the diet that is most satmya to the keralites, moreover kanji (yavagu) is indicated in Kshut, Trishna, Glani, Daurbalya, Kukshiroga and Jwara. •It promotes anulomana and prevents constipation, acts as deepana and pachana•If it is used in any other form it actually will not give much result. E, g. if used in kashaya form, it may cause stambhana (due to the kashaya rasa) thereby causing vata vitiation.•As this is used in kanji form more quantity will be taken as compared than other forms of medication (thereby acts as ahara and aushada at the same time) 24-Feb-2017
