Kshara is derived from the word " Ksharana" that means as something that mobilizes and removes the deformed flesh, skin, tissue, etc., due to its corrosive nature ( Ksharanata ). Pratisarniya Kshara has been further classified into three types on the basis of its potency - Mridu (mild), Madhyama (moderate) and Tikshna (strong). This study aims at comparison between ( Mridu and Tikshna ) Apamarga Kshara on the basis of pharmacognostical and pharmaceutical evaluation.
