sanskrit

The ten stages of medicine intake are as follows: 1. Abhakta refers to the state where the medicine is not consumed properly or at the correct time. 2. Prāgbhakta refers to medicine taken before the usual prescribed time. 3. Adobhakta is when medicine is consumed at a time too early or too late, not fitting the proper schedule. 4. Madhyabhakta is when medicine is taken during the middle of the prescribed time or after a slight delay. 5. Antarabhakta refers to medicine taken with a significant delay from the prescribed time. 6. Sabhakta is when medicine is taken with the proper timing and method. 7. Sāmudga refers to medicine taken with all the required details intact, without any neglect in preparation or consumption. 8. Muhurmuhur refers to medicine that is consumed repeatedly, at intervals, instead of a one-time dose. 9. Grāsa refers to the individual doses or mouthfuls taken at a time. 10. Grāsāntara refers to the intervals between the individual doses, highlighting the gap between them. These stages are essential for ensuring effective treatment and healing.
