Tryuṣaṇa (त्र्युषण) refers to a group of three medicinal plants used in the treatment of atisāra (diarrhoea), according to the 7th century Mādhavacikitsā chapter 2. Atisāra refers to a condition where there are three or more loose or liquid stools (bowel movements) per day or more stool than normal. The second chapter of the Mādhavacikitsā explains several preparations [including Tryuṣaṇa] through 60 Sanskrit verses about treating this problem.

The three species of medicinal plants included under tryuṣaṇa are:

Pippalī (or Kaṇā, Kṛṣṇa): Piper longum L.
Marīca: Piper nigrum L.
Śuṇṭhī, (or Viśvabheṣaja, Viśva, Tryuṣaṇa, Nāgara, Ārdraka): Zingiber officinale Roxb.

Tryūṣaṇa (त्र्यूषण) (or Trikaṭu, Kaṭutraya) refers to an herbal ingredient which is included in a (snake) poison antidote recipe, according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—In the Añjana or Collyrium segment of the eighth Adhyāya, Kāśyapa prescribes eight types of permutation and combination of herbs that effectively arrest poison. According to Kāśyapasaṃhitā (verse VIII.37)—“A combination of Śiriṣa, Elā, Niśā, Lac, Māṃsī, Yaṣṭhi, Mustard, salt, Trivṛt, Yaṣṭhi, Viśālā, Trikaṭu (tryūṣaṇa), two varieties of Niśā, with Madhu and Māñjiṣṭhā placed in the cow’s horn form a formidable drug to eliminate venom”.
