Unclassified Ayurveda definitions
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyAñjanādi (अञ्जनादि) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as being anti-toxic, allays internal dāha, and cures haemoptysis. It was originally composed by Suśruta in his Suśrutasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna XXXVIII, a classic work on Āyurveda. The name is derived from the words Añjana and ādi, translating to “first” or “commencement”. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Añjana, Nāgapuṣpa, Priyaṅgu, Nīlotpala, Nalada and Nalina. The collection of herbs named Añjanādi is but one of the thirty-seven gaṇas (‘sections’) of such groups.

- Nāgapushpa,

An attack of hæmoptysis readily yields to the curative virtue of the group under discussion. It is anti-toxic in its character and allays the internal burning sensation of the body.
