Unclassified Ayurveda definitions
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyPippalyādi (पिप्पल्यादि) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as acting as a good appetiser, and is an absorbent of intestinal mucous and unassimilated lymph chyle. It was originally composed by Suśruta in his Suśrutasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna XXXVIII, a classic work on Āyurveda. The name is derived from the words Pippalī (Piper longum) and ādi, translating to “first” or “commencement”. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Pippalī, Cavya, Marica, Elā, Sarṣapa, Hiṅgu, Ativiṣa and Vaca, etc. The collection of herbs named Pippalyādi is but one of the thirty-seven gaṇas (‘sections’) of such groups.
