Śukraśodhana (स्तन्यशोधन) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as “purifying the semen”, and originally composed by Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna IV. The name is derived from the words stanya, translating to “breast milk”, and śodhana, translating to “purification” or “refining”. It is a technical term used throughout Āyurveda. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Kuṣṭha (Saussurea auriculata), Kadamba (Nauclea cadamba), Ikṣu (Sugarcane), Kāndekṣu (Ruellia longifolia) and Vāsuka (Sesbania grandiflora). The collection of herbs named Śukraśodhana is one of the fifty Mahākaṣāya.
