Ayurveda (science of life)
Vedanāsthāpana (वेदनास्थापन) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as “anodynes (a drug used to lessen pain )”, and originally composed by Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna IV. The name is derived from the words vedanā, translating to “pain” or “agony”, and sthāpana, translating to “maintaining” or “preserving”. It is a technical term used throughout Āyurveda. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Sāla (Shorea robusta), Katphala (Myrica sapida), Tuṅga (Calophyllun inophyllum) and Aśoka (Saraca indica). The collection of herbs named Vedanāsthāpana is one of the fifty Mahākaṣāya.
