Śonitasthāpana (शोनितस्थापन) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as “styptics (a type of antihemorrhagic agent)”, and originally composed by Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna IV. The name is derived from the words śonita, translating to “blood”, and sthāpana, translating to “maintaining” or “preserving”. It is a technical term used throughout Āyurveda. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Rudhira (Saffron, Crocus sativus), Mel, Liquorice and Moca (Plantain). The collection of herbs named Śonitasthāpana is one of the fifty Mahākaṣāya.
