ѳñٲ첹 (मुञ्जातक) is a Sanskrit word referring to Orchis latifolia, a plant species in the Orchidaceae family. Certain plant parts of Tarūṭa are eaten as a vegetable (ś첹), according to Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna (chapter 27), a classical Ayurvedic work. The plant is therefore part of the Śākavarga group of medicinal plants, referring to the “group of vegetables/pot-herbs�. Caraka defined such groups (vargas) based on the dietic value of the plant. Note: Orchis latifolia is a synonym of Dactylorhiza latifolia which is a synonym of Dactylorhiza sambucina.

Properties according to 䲹첹-ṃh: ѳñٲ첹 is strength-promoting, cold, heavy, unctuous, saturating, bulk-promoting, alleviates vāta and pitta, is madhura and aphrodisiac.
