Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyPriyaṅgvādi (प्रियङ्ग्वादि) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants. It was originally composed by Suśruta in his Suśrutasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna XXXVIII, a classic work on Āyurveda. The name is derived from the words Priyaṅgu (Callicarpa macrophylla) and ādi, translating to “first” or “commencement”. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Priyaṅgu, Dhātakī, Mocarasa and Rasāñjana. The collection of herbs named Priyaṅgvādi is but one of the thirty-seven gaṇas (‘sections’) of such groups.
