Aṅgamardapraśamana (अङ्गमर्दप्रशमन) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as “relieving pain in the limbs”, and originally composed by Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna IV. The name is derived from the words aṅgamarda, translating to “rheumatism”, and praśamana, translating to “pacifying” or “tranquillizing”. It is a technical term used throughout Āyurveda. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Vidārigandhā (Desmodium), Bṛhatī, Kaṇṭakārī, Kairanda (Ricinus), Candana and Cardamoms (large). The collection of herbs named Aṅgamardapraśamana is one of the fifty Mahākaṣāya.
