Edited by Harishastri Paradkar Vaidya. 1st ed. Varanasi: Krishnadas Academy;2000.</ref> The principle of circadian rhythm of [[dosha]], their influence on human physiology is considered to achieve highest active potential of a medicine. By applying this principle of chrono-pharmacology, maximum efficacy can be achieved even in smaller doses. Moreover, a single medicine can be used in different disorders as per biological rhythms and states of [[dosha]]. Thus, the requirement of medicine can be reduced to treat multiple disorders. Duration of medical treatment in chronic disorders can also be reduced. | In Ayurveda, different times of medicine administration are mentioned for pacification (shamana) therapies. [A. Hr.
