Introduction 'Kharnada Samhita' is a treatise by acharya 'Kharanada' on 'Kaya Chikitsa' (Internal Medicine). Many ayurvedic commentators like Bhattar Harichandra, Chakrapani, Chandrat, Arundutta, Hemadri had quoted the views of acharya 'kharnada' in their respective commentaries. But no much information is available about the acharya 'Kharanada'. He is also called as 'Kharan' by Hemadri. It was in practice from early 4th century AD to 17th century AD..
