Unclassified Ayurveda definitions
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyĀragvadhādi (आरग्वधादि) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as having the effect of destroying deranged phlegm, the effects of poison and Meha (morbid discharges from the urethra), Kuṣṭha (skin disease), fever, vomitting and itching of the body, etc, etc. It was originally composed by Suśruta in his Suśrutasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna XXXVIII, a classic work on Āyurveda. The name is derived from the words Āragvadha (Cassia fistula) and ādi, translating to “first” or “commencement”. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Āragvadha, Madana, Kutaja, Pāṭha, Pāṭalā, Saptaparṇa, Nimba, Paṭola and Guḍūcī. The collection of herbs named Āragvadhādi is but one of the thirty-seven gaṇas (‘sections’) of such groups.
