Abstract

One such specific action is Vikasi Karma, which refers to the property causing laxity, looseness, or dilatation in bodily tissues, particularly the muscles, tendons & intestines. Kodrava (Paspalum scrobiculatum Linn.), a minor millet recognized in Ayurvedic texts, is attributed with certain Vikasi properties influencing musculoskeletal system, gastrointestinal motility and digestive health .This review compiles classical Ayurvedic literature, pharmacological insights, and modern perspective , especially the toxicological relevance of ergot contamination to understand the Vikasi Karma of Kodrava. [1–6]
Keywords: Kodrava, Vikasi Karma, musculoskeletal system, Ayurvedic pharmacology.
