Laghupañcamūla (लघुपञ्चमूल) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as being a tonic and aphrodisiac. It is also known as Svalpapañcamūla. It was originally composed by Suśruta in his Suśrutasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna XXXVIII, a classic work on Āyurveda. The name is derived from the words laghu (‘light’) and pañcamūla, translating to “five roots”. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Trikaṇṭaka, Bṛhatī (two spices), Pṛthakaparṇī and Vidārigandhā. The collection of herbs named Laghupañcamūla is but one of the thirty-seven gaṇas (‘sections’) of such groups.
