Ayurveda, Brihat Chakramarda, Antifungal, Dadrughna

Brihat Chakramarda (Cassia alata Linn.) commonly referred to as Ringworm senna. Although not prominently featured in classical Ayurvedic texts, Brihat Chakramarda finds mention in certain commentaries, underscoring its therapeutic significance, particularly in addressing dermatological conditions like ringworm. Known as Dadrughna in Ayurveda, Brihat Chakramarda is revered for its ability to alleviate symptoms associated with ringworm and other skin disorders, attributed to its antifungal properties. In light of the rising global prevalence of fungal infections, especially in healthcare settings and among immunocompromised individuals, the search for effective antifungal agents has intensified. Ayurveda, with its holistic approach to health and disease, offers a rich repository of botanical remedies, many of which exhibit potent antifungal activity. Despite the wealth of traditional knowledge, there remains a gap in the exploration of certain medicinal plants like Brihat Chakramarda within the context of modern scientific research. This review aims to bridge this gap by providing an overview of the antifungal potential of Brihat Chakramarda as documented in both traditional Ayurvedic literature and contemporary scientific studies. By synthesizing available evidence, this article highlights the therapeutic relevance of Brihat Chakramarda in combating fungal infections, shedding light on its phytochemical constituents, pharmacological actions, and clinical applications. Through a comprehensive exploration of this botanical resource, we aim to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on natural antifungal agents and facilitate further research into the therapeutic potential of Brihat Chakramarda in different healthcare practices.
