According to Ayurveda Bhaishajya kaal (time of drug administration) is an important principle to be considered while treating a disease. It is known as Chronotherapy in modern science. Medication is advised keeping with respect to circadian rhythm.According to Ayurved doshas have dominance according to the time of day. Kapha prominent in morning hours likewise its also prominent after meals. Pitta is dominant in afternoon timings and a hour after meals. Vata is prominent at the end of digestion and early morning. So, taking this in account we can easily counter the imbalanced doshas with medicine on their particular time along with anupana and pathyapathya. For successful treatment we need to take account of desh, kaal pramana, satyma and asatmya. Desh means the region where the patient resides and or his habitat. Kala is the time when the disease has been acquired. For e.g., patient with kapha pradhan prakriti staying in anupa desh and be more vulnerable to Kapha vyadhi. Chikitsa of such Patients we need to choose aushadhi kaal which will act on kapha dosha.
