In this work Vrinda has enumerated line of treatment and most efficacious formulations for various disease conditions, described by Madhavanidana. Herbs have dominated Ayurvedic therapeutics during pre-Vrinda period. Vrinda has recorded not only herbal remedies but also several herbo-mineral formulations and incorporated most of the minerals and metals in his work. Keeping this in view, an attempt has been made to identify and compile the minerals and metals which are useful in different ailments and to know the dominated metals in medieval ayurvedic therapeutics.
