Mūtravirecanīya (मूत्रविरेचनीय) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as “promoting secretion of urine”, and originally composed by Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna IV. The name is derived from the words mūtra, translating to “urine”, and virecanīya, referring to “purgative”. It is a technical term used throughout Āyurveda. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Vṛkṣādanī (Cascuta), Aśvadaṃṣṭrā (Tribulus terrestris), Vaśira (Cleome viscosa) and Pāṣāṇabheda (Bryophyllum calycinum). The collection of herbs named Mūtravirecanīya is one of the fifty Mahākaṣāya.
