Tag : Sarpgandha Seeds, Sarpgandha
Sarpgandha Seeds, botanically identified as Rauvolfia Serpentina, are derived from the Sarpgandha plant, a well-known herb in classical Ayurveda. It is commonly referred to as Sarpgandha or Sarpagandha in Hindi and Sanskrit, and as Indian Snakeroot in English literature. The seeds of the plant are used in traditional herbal processing, though the root remains the primary classical part; seeds are mainly used as raw material for specific formulations.
In Ayurveda, Sarpgandha is described as having Tikta (bitter) rasa, Sheeta (cooling) virya, and Nidrajanana (calming) properties, making it effective in pacifying Vata and Pitta doshas. It is traditionally associated with nervous system balance, mental calmness, and relaxation-supportive formulations.
Sarpgandha Seeds are used under strict Ayurvedic supervision in classical preparations, controlled formulations, and pharmaceutical processing. As per Ayurvedic texts, dosage, purification, and method of use are critical and should only be followed by qualified practitioners. These seeds are primarily supplied as Ayurvedic raw material for traditional and research-based formulations.
