Dāhapraśamana (दाहप्रशमन) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as “removing fatigue”, and originally composed by Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna IV. The name is derived from the words dāha, translating to “internal heat” or “combustion”, and praśamana, translating to “pacifying” or “tranquillizing”. It is a technical term used throughout Āyurveda. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Lāja (Paddy, fried), Candana (Santalum album), Nīlotpala (blue lotus) and Hrivera (Pavonia odorata). The collection of herbs named Dāhapraśamana is one of the fifty Mahākaṣāya.
