This comprehensive Ayurvedic article delves into the fascinating realm of Tephrosia purpurea, commonly known as Sharpunkha or Purple Tephrosia. This article aims to explore the remarkable medicinal properties and therapeutic potential of this herb as documented in Ayurvedic texts. This article provides an introduction to Tephrosia purpurea, discussing its botanical classification, habitat, and historical usage in Ayurvedic medicine. Drawing from ancient Ayurvedic texts, the unique qualities (guna), tastes (rasa), and post-digestive effects (vipaka) attributed to Sharpunkha are elucidated, along with its effects on the doshas, primarily Kapha and Pitta. Furthermore, the article investigates the various parts of the Tephrosia purpurea plant used in Ayurvedic preparations, such as the leaves, roots, and seeds, highlighting their specific therapeutic indications and modes of administration. Specific focus is given to the plant's potent properties as an anti-inflammatory, diuretic, anthelmintic, and hepatoprotective agent, supported by relevant scientific studies and clinical evidence. Moreover, the article presents a review of contemporary research studies investigating the bioactive constituents and pharmacological actions of Tephrosia purpurea.
