Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanySārivādi (सारिवादि) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as alleviating thirst, cures haemoptysis, removes burning sensation (dahā) of the body. It was originally composed by Suśruta in his Suśrutasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna XXXVIII, a classic work on Āyurveda. The name is derived from the words Sārivā (or Anantamūla, Hemidesmus indicus) and ādi, translating to “first” or “commencement”. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Sārivā, Madhuka, Candana, Kāṣmāriphala and Uṣira. The collection of herbs named Sarivādi is but one of the thirty-seven gaṇas (‘sections’) of such groups.
