| Classical Description | It is the dried Rhizome of Zingiber Officinale. To make it white and Laghu it is processed with lime water. S`hun`t`hee is Graahi due to absorption of liquids from the Mala by Ushn`a Gun`a , but at the same time it is Vibandhahara but it does not expell Mala out. |
| Other Information | Vaagabhata has called it as Aushadha(Ah.chi.6). |
