Mudgaparṇī (मुद्गपर्णी) is a Sanskrit word referring to the “mung-leaf”, a species of plant from the Fabaceae (bean) family of flowering plants. It is used throughout Ayurvedic literature such as the Caraka-saṃhitā and the Suśruta-saṃhitā. The official botanical name is Phaseolus trilobus. It is used extensively by tribal people of the Nandurbar district (Maharashtra) in the treatment of Jaundice and other liver disorders. Mudgaparṇī is composed of the words Mudga (“mung beans”) and Parṇī, which is derived from Parṇa, meaning “leaf”.
