Background: Bheshaja sevana kala is the principle of time of administration of the medicine. Drug exhibits
different actions when administered in different bheshaja sevana kala (time of administration of medicine). Actual
aim of bheshajasevanakala is to provide the fulfillment towards desired action of drug administration in patient in
order to pacify the disease. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of bheshaja Sevana kala (time of administration of
medicine) in the disease prameha (diabetes mellitus, type-II). Methods: A randomized clinical trial was outlined
with a pre, mid and post test assessment of 30 patients satisfying the inclusion criteria. In the present study 15
patients were asked to consume 4gm of Guduchi churna (powder of Tinispora cordifolia) in pragbhakta (before
food) and pratah adhobhaktakala (morning after food) with lukewarm water and another 15 patients were asked
to take 4gm of Guduchi churna three times a day after food with lukewarm water for a duration of 30 days. After
intervention, results were analyzed statistically. Results: In the present study, fairly good results were observed in
all the parameters of the study. There was no much difference in the result between the groups with regards to
subjective parameters i.e. prabhootamootrata (polyurea), pipasa (polydypsia), kshuda (polyphagia),
swedapravrutti (excessive sweating), karapadadaha (burning sensation in palms and soles) supti (numbness) and
klama (fatigue). In regards to FBS and PPBS patients of group A showed better result than group B, but it was
statistically insignificant (P value > 0.05) between the groups. In case of avilamootrata (urine turbidity), also group
A showed better result than group B and the result was statistically significant (P value 0.002). Conclusion:
Guduchi churna (powder of Tinispora cordifolia) administered during appropriate time showed statistically
significant result in subsiding the cardinal symptom of prameha i.e. avilamootrata (urine turbidity).
