Bṛhatpañcamūla (बृहत्पञ्चमूल) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as being appetisers. It is also known as Mahatpañcamūla. It was originally composed by Suśruta in his Suśrutasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna XXXVIII, a classic work on Āyurveda. The name is derived from the words bṛhat (‘solid’) and pañcamūla, translating to “five roots”. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Bilva, Agnimantha, Ṭuṇṭukā, Pāṭalā and Kāsmāri. The collection of herbs named Bṛhatpañcamūla is but one of the thirty-seven gaṇas (‘sections’) of such groups.
