Dravya
The Essence of Ayurvedic Substances
What is Dravya?
In Ayurveda, Dravya signifies matter, substance, or any entity that possesses qualities (guna) and actions (karma). It is the fundamental substratum upon which all therapeutic understanding is built, serving as the physical basis for both medicines and dietary substances.
