Unclassified Ayurveda definitions
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyDaśamūla (दशमूल) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as proving beneficial in cases of Asthma and difficult respiration. It was originally composed by Suśruta in his Suśrutasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna XXXVIII, a classic work on Āyurveda. The name is derived from the words daśa (‘ten’) and mūla, translating to “root”. It includes the plants from the Laghupañcamūla and Bṛhatpañcamūla groups of medicinal plants. The collection of herbs named Daśamūla is but one of the thirty-seven gaṇas (‘sections’) of such groups.
The following plants are mentioned as belonging to this group (gaṇa):
- Śālaparṇī (Desmodium gangeticum, or “salpan”),
- Pṛśniparṇī (Uraria picta, or “pointed-leaved uraria plant”),
- Bṛhatī (Solanum indicum, or “Indian Nightshade”),
- Kaṇṭakārī (Solanum xanthocarpum, or “yellow-berried nightshade”),
- Gokṣura (Tribulus terrestris, or “land-caltrops”)
- Bilva (Aegle marmelos, or “Bengal quince”),
- Gambhārī (Gmelina beechwood, or “white teak”),
- Pāṭalā (Stereospermum suaveolens, or the “Trumpet flower tree”),
- Agnimantha (Premna serratifolia),
- Śyonāka (Oroxylum indicum, or the “Indian trumpet tree”).
The first five of these plants together form the group known as the Pañcamūla (‘five roots’).
According to the Mādhavacikitsā, the plants have medicinal properties used for the treatment of all major fevers (jvara), as described in the Jvaracikitsā (or “the treatment of fever”) chapter.

Daśamūla is generally useful in tridoṣa and particularly in vāta. It alleviates fever, oedema, vātika disorders and debility.

It proves beneficial in cases of asthma and difficult respiration. It acts as a good digestant in respect of undigested lymph chyle, etc and is used with satisfactory results in all types of fever.
Source: PMC: Botanical identity of plant sources of Daśamūla drugsDaśamūla literally means ‘ten-roots’. The 10 plant drugs of Daśamūla are grouped as Bṛhatpañcamūla (roots of five tree species) and Laghupañcamūla (roots of five shrubs or herbs).
The Bṛhatpañcamūla are
- Bilva,
- Agnimantha,
- Śyonāka,
- Pāṭalā,
- and Gaṃbhārī
while Laghupañcamūla include
- Pṛṣṇiparṇī,
- Śālaparṇī,
- Bṛhatī,

- and Gokṣura.
Caraka has mentioned the components of Daśamūla under the śvayathuhara-gạna i.e. the group of 10 drugs that combat oedema and uses the word Mahat Pañcamūla and Daśamūla in several contexts. Suśruta gives a classification as Bṛhatpañcamūla and Laghupañcamūla in the classification of drugs. The Ayurvedic texts have mentioned that Daśamūla plant drugs mainly pacify vāta-dośa.
