Apart from this it also finds mention in Charaka [[Sutra Sthana]] 4th Chapter under ''kushtaghna, vamanopaga'' and ''kandughna dashemani''. In Charaka [[Vimana Sthana]] ''aragwadha'' has been considered under ''tiktaskandha'' [ Cha. Sa.[[Vimana Sthana]] 8/164]. Sushruta mentions usage of ''aragwadha'' in ''ksharakalpa''. ''Aragwadha'' has been mentioned in ''aragwadhadi gana'' and ''shyamadi gana'' <ref>Sushruta. Sutra Sthana, Cha.39 Samshodhanasamshamaneeym Adhyaya verse 9. In: Jadavaji Trikamji Aacharya, Editors.

For external usage it may be considered that ''aragwadha'' is best, whereas for internal usage ''khadira'' is choice of drug in ''kushta''.

	Below age four years the drug is not advised, because of possible complications and in children above 12 years, drug may not give the desired benefit. As both ''aragwadha'' and ''draksha''(grapes) are mild purgative in nature may not induce the desired purgation if given to children above 12 years. Chakradutta mentions the usage of ''aragwadha'' with ''drasksha'' in ~~''pittajajwara''~~. ''Aragwadha'' is purgative but when administered alone may bring about untoward side effects like colicky pain so is usually administered with any suitable adjuvants.
