Abstract

Ayurveda classics & modern texts provided huge information about the Saptaparna (Alstonia scholaris R. Br.) with its importance, synonyms, uses, part used, formulations and thus more. It is highlighted in diseased conditions like Jwara (fever), Swasa (Asthama), Kustha (skin disease), Prameha (diabetes) etc. Saptaparna is one of the divine medicinal plant among the plants of Ayurveda. But, the data of information are in a scattered manner. Hence, an effort has been induced to accumulate the information regarding Saptaparna from mainly Bruhata trays (Charaka Samhita, Sushurta Samhita, Ashthanga Sangraha and Asthanga Hridaya), five Nighantus and other advanced texts. This article will assist to the Ayurvedic industrial people, learners of Ayurveda and the persons interested in Ayurveda with the detailed materials of Saptaparna.
