Unclassified Ayurveda definitions
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyٲśū (दशमू�) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal plants, classified as proving beneficial in cases of Asthma and difficult respiration. It was originally composed by Suśruta in his Suśrutasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna XXXVIII, a classic work on Āyurveda. The name is derived from the words 岹ś (‘ten�) and ū, translating to “root�. It includes the plants from the Laghupañcaū and Bṛhatpañcaū groups of medicinal plants. The collection of herbs named ٲśū is but one of the thirty-seven ṇa (‘sections�) of such groups.
The following plants are mentioned as belonging to this group (ṇa):
- Ś貹ṇ� (Desmodium gangeticum, or “salpan�),
- Pṛśniparṇ� (Uraria picta, or “pointed-leaved uraria plant�),
- ṛhī (Solanum indicum, or “Indian Nightshade�),
- Kaṇṭakārī (Solanum xanthocarpum, or “yellow-berried nightshade�),
- Ҵǰṣu (Tribulus terrestris, or “land-caltrops�)
- Bilva (Aegle marmelos, or “Bengal quince�),
- Gambhārī (Gmelina beechwood, or “white teak�),
- ṭa (Stereospermum suaveolens, or the “Trumpet flower tree�),
- Agnimantha (Premna serratifolia),
- ŚDz첹 (Oroxylum indicum, or the “Indian trumpet tree�).
The first five of these plants together form the group known as the Pañcaū (‘five roots�).
According to the Mādhavacikitsā, the plants have medicinal properties used for the treatment of all major fevers (jvara), as described in the 쾱ٲ (or “the treatment of fever�) chapter.

It alleviates fever, oedema, پ첹 disorders and debility.

It proves beneficial in cases of asthma and difficult respiration. It acts as a good digestant in respect of undigested lymph chyle, etc and is used with satisfactory results in all types of fever.
