Similarly so, are Madhuka – Licorice – Glycyrrhiza glabra) and Mrdvika (grapes) Madhuka and dry grapes – both have similar qualities. But dry grape has mild purgative action, but Madhuka does not. Milk and ghee – both possess similar qualities. But ghee increases digestion strength but milk does not. Hence increasing digestion strength is the special effect of ghee. Vichitra Pratyayardha Dravya – extraordinary substances:- A special category, known as Vichitra Pratyarabda exists. It means – born out of peculiar combination of peculiar factors. For example: both wheat and barley possess sweat and heaviness qualities yet wheat mitigates Vata but barley aggravates it.
