# As asthi dhatu is deep rooted one, a drug which act on asthi dhätu, should possess high penetrating
capacity to reach that level of asthi. This capacity is attributed by süksma guna, which is the specific
property of akasa maha bhuta and which is predominant in tikta rasa. Tikta is rüksha, laghu and khara,
söshapa and sükshma. Tikta rasa when combined with kshira or ghrta will improve the drdhata of asthi
dhatu, resulting in asthi poshana and asthi vardhana without provoking vata (kshira or ghta control
vata). Tikta rasa aggravates vata, but processing them with kshira or ghrta converts their pharmacological
action and enables them to promote ashti poshana. When snigdha gupa of kshira and ghyta is subjected to
soshana by tikta rasa, solidity and hardness are achieved.
Tikta rasa provide kharatwa and rükshata to the asthi dhatus (increases asthi dhatu), at the same
time ghrta helps to pacify the provoked vata and prevent further vata prakopa by tikta rasa.
