The <em>Tridoshaghna</em> concept and this chapter both stand unique and hence the present chapter was selected for its exploration through multiple correspondence analysis.<strong> Materials and Methods: </strong>All the relevant information about the drugs like their Botanical identity, family, <em>Rasa, Guna, Virya</em> and <em>Vipaka</em> of <em>Tridoshaghna varga</em> was collected with the help of previous and successive texts of <em>Sidhhamantra</em> <em>Nighantu</em>. The collected information was subjected to multiple correspondence analysis.<strong> Result: </strong>The chapter <em>Tridoshaghna Varga</em> enlists several substances of herbal origin, metallic/mineral origin and animal origin. MCA revealed that the combination of <em>Sheeta Virya</em> and <em>Madhura Vipaka</em> with the combination of <em>Tikta</em> and/or <em>Katu Rasa</em> can be the best properties for <em>Tridoshaghna</em> action in majority diseased conditions.<strong> Conclusion: </strong>The study data should be considered while clinical practice by clinicians and further studies should be carried out on the nutritional foods included in the chapter for better understanding of <em>Aahara</em> (nutritional herbs) as well as <em>Aushadha</em> (medicinal herbs) for <em>Tridoshaghna</em> action.</p> ER -
