I feel that time has come to enrich the information given in ancient Indian literature about Sarpgandha. Ancient literature say much about the medicinal properties and uses of roots whereas the Indian Traditional Healers use its all parts as medicine, even the insects feeding on Sarpgandha are used as medicine. Indian farmers have rich Traditional Agricultural Knowledge about use of Sarpgandha for pest management in other medicinal and aromatic crops.

Dear Mr. Pankaj I think there is no refference of Sarpagandha In any
ancient Ayurvedic literature.( i.e. Brihat trayis (Charaka,Sushruta &
Vagbhata)) as per my knowledge.This is the medicinal plant added
later.Now it is included in Ayu. Pharmacopeia.

Thanks. I have to check for the exact reference. In my state it is a part of Traditional Healing since time immemorial and the young Healers of present generation are enriching it.

Pankaj ji,

very interesting to know that even the insects feeding on Sarpgandha are used as medicine.

Is it so in general or only in case of Sarpgandha.

Never heard of this before that is why curious to know.
