Śirovirecanopaga (शिरोविरेचनोपग) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as “oily enemata”, and originally composed by Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna IV. The name is derived from the words śirovirecana, translating to “cleansing the head”, and upaga, referring to “belonging to”. It is a technical term used throughout Āyurveda. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Jyotiṣmotī (Cardospermum halicacabum), Kṣavaka (Myriogyne lanuginosus) and Śveta (Clitorea ternata, white and red variety). The collection of herbs named Śirovirecanopaga is one of the fifty Mahākaṣāya.
