General Information - Ashok or Ashoka (which is a Sanskrit term meaning one without sorrow or grief) also called Ashokbriksh and botanically known as Saraca asoca (Roxb.) W. J. de Wilde or Saraca indica L. is among the most ancient medicinal plants known in India. It belongs to the family Caesalpiniaceae. Saraca asoca (Roxb.) has been regarded as a universal panacea in old Indian Ayurvedic texts and has especially been used to manage gynaecological complications and infections besides treating haem-morhagic dysentery, uterine pain, bacterial infections, skin problems, tumours, worm infestations, cardiac and circulatory problems. Almost all parts of the plant are considered pharmacologically valuable. Extensive folkloric practices and ethnobotanical appli-cations of this plant have even lead to the availability of several commercial S. asoca formulations recom-mended for different indications though adulteration of these remains a pressing concern.

The tree is found mainly throughout India, especially in West Bengal, Assam, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Meghalaya and Maharashtra9. It is also widely distributed across the Western Ghats (both South and Central), the Sahyadri region and throughout the Himalayas.
