Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyҳḍūc徱 (गुडूच्यादि) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as being a good appetiser, and acting as a general febrifuge, etc. It was originally composed by Suśruta in his Suśrutasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna XXXVIII, a classic work on Āyurveda. The name is derived from the words Guḍūcī (Tinospora cordifolia) and 徱, translating to “first� or “commencement�. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Guḍūcī, Nimba, Kustumbara, Candana and Padmaka. The collection of herbs named ҳḍūc徱 is but one of the thirty-seven ṇa (‘sections�) of such groups.
