Abstract

THERAPEUTIC AND PHARMACOLOGICAL INSIGHTS OF SARPAGANDHA (RAUWOLFIA SERPENTINA): AN INTEGRATIVE AYURVEDIC AND MODERN REVIEW

*Dr. Varij Pandey

ABSTRACT

Sarpagandha (Rauwolfia serpentina), has been extensively utilized in Ayurveda for managing unmada(psychosis), apasmara (epilepsy), raktapitta (hypertension), anidra (insomnia), and jwara (fever). Classical texts categorize it as a medhya rasayana (nootropic) and manasroga hara dravya (psychoactive drug). The roots are rich in indole alkaloids, notably reserpine, ajmaline, and serpentine, which account for its antihypertensive, sedative, and antiarrhythmic properties. This review integrates Ayurvedic references, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and clinical research to provide a holistic understanding of its therapeutic utility.
