Sraṃsana (स्रंसन) is a Sanskrit technical term translating to “laxative” or to a type of purging. The term is used throughout Ayurvedic literature such as the Caraka-saṃhitā and the Suśruta-saṃhitā. The literal translation of Sraṃsana implies the act of falling or causing to fall. It can also refer to “loosening”. In a different context, the word refers to a “permature abortion”. It is derived from the Sanskrit root sras (or sraṃs, śraṃś, śraṃs) which can translate to “to fall”, “slip off” or “get loose from”.
