3.4.2 Substitution of Different Species
At times, it has been observed that in the customary framework solution, one plant has a few equivalent words and in
different cases the regular name is the same for two unique types of plant. Two kinds of Gokshura are found: Tribulus ter-
restris
(Zygophylaceae) and Pedalium murex (Pedaliaceae). T. terrestris has chemical constituents, such as chlorogenin,
diosgenin, rutin, rhamnose, and alkaloid. While P. murex has sitosterol, ursolic corrosive, vanillin, flavonoids, and alka-
loids, both species have been demonstrated for nephroprotective, lithotriptic, diuretic, and hepatoprotective functions. If we
analyze the clinical conditions for which Gokshura is shown, that is, Mutrakrrcha, Mutraghata, Ashmari, Prameha, and so
on, both T. terrestris and P. murex seem, by all accounts, to be proper.
