The name is derived from the words stanya, translating to “breast milk”, and śodhana, translating to “refining” or “purification”. It is a technical term used throughout Āyurveda. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Pāṭhā (Stephania hernandifolia), Suradāru (Cedrus deodara), Musta (Cyperus rotandus) and Kirātatikta (Agathotes chirayata).
