Most of these drugs are described in ancient Ayurvedic treatises and so Ayurvedic method of studying pharmacology is necessary. It is also necessary to study pharmacokinetics as per Ayurveda only.  The study of the herbs is to be done in following steps. The first step is to study fivefold properties of herb, i.e., Rasa (taste), Guna (properties), Virya (potency), Vipak and Prabhava (specific action).
