'Sanjivani Booti' found by Ramdev trust?

News: Baba Ramdev's yog trust has claimed to find "Sanjivani Booti" from Drongiri Parvat in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand.

Describing it as a big achievement, Baba Ramdev thanked the team members led by Acharya Balkrishan, who found the herb following a trek to the hill.

Acharya Balkrishan said sanjivani booti has properties of four different herbs like mrita sanjivani, vishalaya karni, sawarn karni and sandhani.

Prof Hariram Pandey, an ayurveda expert and Kaushal Kumar had accompanied the team which trekked to Dronagiri early this month. The team returned to Haridwar yesterday .

Sanjivani Booti gets mention in the holy Ramayana when Lakshaman was injured during the fight with Meghnaad. To revive him, who fell unconscious, Hanuman flew to Drona Parvat and brought the sanjivani.

Sanjivani litearily means vital .. the one that gives life. Sanjivani Booti is described in Ramayana, the holy Hindu scripture, where Vaidya revived Laxman with the help of this Booti. Lord Hanuman is said to brought Sanjivani from Dronagiri hills of Himalaya.

Whether it is really Sanjivani Booti or something else is still debatable. There are all sort of questions on this recent claim. Let us wait and watch. Though I wish this news to be true and we rediscover this panacea.
