Hence, the current scenario demands better preventive as well as curative measures for Hridroga. In Ayurveda apart from Brihattrayee and Laghutrayee the use of and researches on other neglected Samhita like Vangasena is very less. Vangasena has been written in 1276 A.D. The timeperiod of Vangasena is in between Brihatrayee and Laghutrayee. Hence to know the views, treatment principles, drugs, different formulations and wholesome Vangasena must be studied. Keeping the same view in front of eye the study of Hridroga from Vangasena Samhita is conducted.To compile the information and study the management of Hridroga from Vangasena Samhita is the main objective of the study.
