As the use of medicinal plants in the world is increasing, it is the time to carry on Ayurvedic literature explanation of these particular medicines or plants as without information of their proper uses and properties; it is not beneficial for us. Many of these plants have valuable effects on long-term health when consumed by humans and to effectively treat human ailments also. The present work was carried to evaluate the description of the Varuna (Crataeva nurvala Buch. Ham.) in the Kosha and various Nighantus, to rule out the exact properties, action and make use of Varuna in different diseases. The result suggests that Varuna is having medicinal virtue in the treatment of ashmari, mutrakricchra, vidhradhi and sotha. This review provides the different properties of Crataeva nurvala (Varuna), which could be helpful to treat ashmari, mutrakricchra etc. and for the further study of their constituent action.
