Abstract: Introduction: Ayurveda, the ancient medicinal system, assigns a pivotal role to the taste (Rasa) of a drug in determining its therapeutic efficacy. Among the six fundamental tastes delineated in Ayurveda, Kashaya (Astringent) taste often remains underappreciated despite its profound therapeutic significance. According to Ayurvedic pharmacology principles, the taste of a drug initiates its therapeutic actions, setting the stage right within the mouth. The classical Ayurvedic text, Charak Samhita, categorizes drugs into six groups based on their predominant Rasa (taste), with Kashaya Skandha being one of these groups. Materials and Methods: This study delves into the intricacies of Kashaya Skandha, one of the six taste-based classifications found in Charak Samhita. To unravel the properties and actions of the substances cataloged within Kashaya Skandha, we conducted a comprehensive review of classical Ayurvedic texts such as Bruhattrayi, Bhavprakash Nighantu, and Nighantu Adarsh Vaidya. Furthermore, we meticulously examined contemporary research papers to uncover the pharmacological effects associated with these substances. The compiled data were subjected to rigorous analysis and presented in a tabular format to enhance practical applicability. Results and Discussion: Within the Kashaya Skandha, we identified a total of 56 distinct dravyas (substances), each possessing unique properties and therapeutic actions. Remarkably, all these dravyas share the common attributes like Sangrahaniya, Sandhaniya and Stambhana. Some other attributes are Vrana ropana, Purish samgrahaniya, Mutra virajniya. Conclusion: This study illuminates the often-overlooked Kashaya Skandha within Charak Samhita, underscoring the profound therapeutic potential encapsulated within this group. Kashaya rasa is pacifying, astringent, union-promoting, compressing, healing, absorbing, checking (discharges), pacifies kapha, pitta and rakta, utilizes the body fluid, is rough, cold and slightly light, we accentuate the significance of Kashaya taste in Ayurvedic medicine and its enduring relevance in contemporary healthcare practices. This exploration serves as a vital bridge between ancient wisdom and modern comprehension, fostering further research and application of Kashaya Skandha's invaluable therapeutic insights.
