Nādeya (नादेय) refers to “fresh water fish” found in rivers, according to the Dhanvantari-nighaṇṭu. It is also known as nādeyamatsya. In the science of Āyurveda (ancient Indian healthcare), the meat of a fish (matsya) is used and prepared in balanced diets. Nādeya decreases the gases in the stomach. The Dhanvantarinighaṇṭu is a 10th-century medicinal thesaurus (nighaṇṭu) containing characteristics and synonyms of various herbal plants and minerals.
