Summary
Researchers analyzed the use of Tribhuvana Kirti Rasa, an Ayurvedic formulation, in various phases of fever (jwara). The study, conducted by Vd. Devkanya Choure and Vd. Shailaja Chondikar, reviews the efficacy and safety of this preparation in different stages of fever, considering aspects such as the doshas involved and the body's response.
