Out of 37 different<em> Ganas </em>mentioned in <em>Sutra Sthana </em>of<em> Sushruta Samhita, Dravya-sangrahaniya-adhyaya</em>; <em>Salsaradi-gana</em> is one of them in which 23 medicinal plants have been described<em>. </em>&nbsp;Classically <em>Salsaradi-gana</em> is clinically indicated for <em>Kushta </em>(skin diseases)<em>, Prameha </em>(diabetes mellitus), <em>Pandu </em>(anemia), and<em> Kapha-medo-vishoshana </em>(anti-hyperlipidaemic) disease. For this study, a review of the original commentary of <em>Acharya Dalhana </em>and<em> Acharya haranchandra </em>on<em> Sushruta Samhita</em> and the scientific research papers published on the medicinal plants listed in the <em>Salsaradi-gana of Sushruta Samhita</em> in indexed journals is done. Out of 23 medicinal plants mentioned 8 plants have controversial identification. The controversy in the identification of these medicinal plants is seen directly affecting the pharmacological action and clinical efficacy. Those 8 plants’ controversial identity is cleared with the establishment of a genuine plant for each of the plants through scientific and classical justification. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p&gt;}, number={12}, journal={International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharma Research}, author={Patel Priyalkumari Pravinbhai and Srivastava Rashmi and Upadhyaya Ashwani and Pandit Ram Deo}, year={2023}, month={Jan.}, pages={52-26} }
