Abstract

Ayurveda is the science of life and living. The principles of life and living are mentioned in various Ayurvedic texts. For good life and living, the use of various Dravyas has been indicated. These Dravyas are assigned various names. These names are called as paryaya (synonyms). These synonyms do not only represent the names but also represent the morphological features, properties, actions and effects. They also provide with key identification features. Jeevaka is one of the plants mentioned in astavarga with revitalizing and rejuvinative properties. Various synonyms of jeevaka are mentioned in many Nighantu but its exact morphological details, properties and uses using all the synonyms are not mentioned. Hence this work was taken to decode all the synonyms and explain the features, properties and action of jeevaka.

Keywords: Ayurveda; Jeevaka; Synonym.
