Abstract :

The potency by which a drug acts is known as Veerya. Actually it is the ultra chemical action of the drugs. It may be of two typesUshna (hot)Shita (cold)their translation as hot or cold is not appropriate as these denotes only to the temperature status, while the veerya is something more than that.Ayurveda’s treatment modalities are based on Rasapanchak(Rasa,Guna,Veerya, Vipak and Prabhav). So veerya (potency) of drug plays vital role in treatment principles. So to scrutinize the potency of the drug exothermic and endothermic reactions playsimperative role.
