Elādi (एलादि) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified being a cosmetic, and arresting the eruption of pimples, etc. It was originally composed by Suśruta in his Suśrutasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna XXXVIII, a classic work on Āyurveda. The name is derived from the words Elā (Elettaria cardamomum) and ādi, translating to “first” or “commencement”. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Elā, Tagara, Priyaṅgu, Aguru, Uṣira, Punnāga and Keśara, etc. The collection of herbs named Elādi is but one of the thirty-seven gaṇas (‘sections’) of such groups.
