Traditional Story: “The Serpent-Root Legend” Ayurvedic folklore says: “A wandering sage noticed that snakes bitten by other snakes chewed the root of a certain plant and survived.” This plant, believed to be Sarpagandha, was thus discovered in ancient times. The sages concluded that if it could calm a deadly serpent’s venom, it could also calm the “inner serpent” — representing fear, agitation, and disordered nerves in humans. This symbolic meaning led to its name Sarpagandha and its use for toxins, anxiety, agitation, hypertension, and insanity-like states. 📜 3.
