Akkhiniwakhana (ยาอัคคินีวคณะ) is formula 11 of the Tamra Phra Osot Phra Narai, the collection of royal formulas from the reign of King Narai of Ayutthaya. It is a powder of ten drugs, among them cannabis, taken for vomiting. The text names its maker: Khun Prasit Osot Chin prepared it and presented it to Narai when the king was lord of Lopburi.[1]: 6
The formula takes one part each of kancha (cannabis, with no part of the plant named) and yingsom; two parts each of cinnamon bark, krawan leaf, kan phlu and sakhan; three of dried ginger; four each of the root of chettamun phloeng and long pepper; and six of rock sugar. It is made into a powder with honey as the vehicle, and the king took one salueng by weight. The text gives it for four kinds of vomiting caused by disorders of the digestive fire, to restore the four elements of the body and the appetite.[1]: 6
Akkhiniwakhana was one of the 16 cannabis formulas that the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine named in January 2019 for use once the narcotics law allowed it.[2][3]: 334 At the Thai-medicine cannabis clinic of the Rajamangala University of Technology Isan in Sakon Nakhon, it was given for nausea and vomiting from a disordered digestive fire between 2020 and 2022.[4]
