Bṛṃhaṇīya (बृंहणीय) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as being “nutritive and promoting corpulency”, and originally composed by Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna IV. The name is derived from the word bṛṃha, translating to “nourishment”. It is a technical term used throughout Āyurveda. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Rājakṣāraka (Asclepias rosea), Balā (Sida cordifolia) and Bharadvājī (Hibiscus vitifolius). The collection of herbs named Bṛṃhaṇīya is one of the fifty Mahākaṣāya.
