Snuhi (Euphorbia neriifolia Linn.) is a plant
with sharp twin spines ( vajrakantaka, yugmakantaka,
vyāghranakha ). Stem is stick-like ( dandavrksa ) and
nodular (granthila). The plant contains profuse latex
almost in all parts ( ksīri, bahuksīra, samantadugdhā,
sudhā ) causing injury to eye ( netrāri ). Leaves are
shaped like blade of sword (asipatra ) and dog's
amav
tongue ( Svajhvapatra ). Latex is used as drastic
purgative (snuhi ), for cutting in fistula etc. ( mahā-
vrksa, vajradruma, simhatunda ) and for dissolving
enlarged glands etc. ( gandira ). Thus it protects body
( guda ) and acts as ambrosia ( sudhā ).
Specific characters
1. Plant—with sharp twin spines and profuse
latex.
2. Leaves — shaped like sword blade or dog's
tongue.
3. Actions — latex used as drastic purgative and
in fistula-in-ano, enlarged glands etc.
