Madira (Madira)
Used in the process of purgation (Virechana)
Indications
- Loss of appetite, indigestion, fatigue (when used judiciously and appropriately), as a vehicle (anupana) for certain medications (specifically stated in classical texts for specific medicines). Specific types of Madira were indicated for specific conditions based on ingredients, such as certain heart conditions, cough, or weakness (these are highly formulation-dependent and can't be generalized).
