he utility of weights and measures is an integral part of today’s life. Ayurveda has its own system of measurement, under the ‘Mana Paribhasha’. The word Mana means to measure. This system of measurements is considered a basic principle when it comes to the study of any sciences. Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana in Ayurveda deal with studies on medicine dosage and administration in the prescribed manner. In ancient era Acharyas had such wonderful parameters which are perfect in this era too. Three Types of Mana based on nature of substance that is Pautava mana, Druvaya Mana and Payya mana are very useful in Aushadha Nirman and also in Aushadha sevan matra. Therefore, for all purposes (pharmaceutical as well as therapeutic) the consideration of 'Mana' is essential.
