Ayurveda (science of life)

Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botany

Lekhanīya (लेखनीय) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as “thinning the tissues or reducing corpulency”, and originally composed by Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna IV. The name is derived from the word lekha, translating to “line” or “stroke”. It is a technical term used throughout Āyurveda. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Musta (Cyperus rotandus), Kuṣṭha (Aplotaxis auriculata), Haridrā (Curcuma longa) and Dāruharidrā (Berberis asiatica). The collection of herbs named Lekhanīya is one of the fifty Mahākaṣāya.
