The review study on Haridra medicinal plant (Curcuma longa)

Dr. Ashish Sharma

Curcuma longa, often known as Haridra, is a Zingiberaceae family plant that is vital for medicine. Since Haridra is a component of several Ayurvedic remedies, including Chandraprabha vati, Mahatikta ghrita, Haridra khand, Dashamulaarista, and others, it is commonly used in Ayurveda to cure many disorders through its Rasapanchak. Its name, Haridra, comes from its hue. India's Ayurvedic Formulary uses haridra in several of its formulas. It's a crucial ingredient in many formulas. It has long been valued for its several medicinal advantages, conventional applications, and aesthetic worth. Many agents are used, including those with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antidiabetic, anthelminthic, hepatoprotective, hypolipidemic, antihistaminic, and antifungal properties. Ayurvedic texts mention Prameha, Krimi, Aruchi, Apachi, Pandu, Visa, and other illnesses. Everything required to comprehend Haridra in Ayurveda is included on this page, including all pertinent classical references.
