Doctors' responses

Entada scandens is not directly mentioned as a named drug in Charaka Samhita. Its identification and medicinal use are described in later Ayurvedic Nighantus and regional Kerala Ayurvedic traditions, where it is correlated with names like ‘Gilla’ and used based on traditional clinical practice.

Charaka Samhita does not clearly mention Entada scandens by its modern botanical name directly. In Kerala Ayurvedic practice, it is commonly correlated with “Gila” or regional folk usage mentioned in Kerala Nighantus and traditional toxicology/poison treatment texts. Main Kerala references are found in: Hortus Malabaricus Chikitsa Manjari Regional Kerala Visha chikitsa manuscripts.
