Abstract (2. Language): 
India is known as the "vegetable emporium of the world". Ayurveda more precisely known as the science of life has delivered cures for dreaded diseases right from the existence of mankind as old as 5,000 B.C. Amongst many useful herbs the plant Picrorhiza (Katuki) considered as a bitter drug has been used in treating liver disorders since antiquity. Lord Dhanwantari has introduced this particular herb considering the mythological tradition of India. The herb has also long been used in Chinese system of medicine. This essential plant is sometimes adulterated with some other plant species that resembles its morphological characters. The genus has two species P. kurroa and P. scrophulariiflora which are unique in their own characteristics and the plant is mainly found in the Himalayan region. In a bid to achieve symptomatic fast relief often some essential herbs are overlooked, one such plant is Picrorhiza. Thus an effort has been made in reviewing the available literatures that are available about the plant in the most common texts which would provide a structure for the use of the herb for a layman also who needs to be aware about the standards that are mentioned and how are they mentioned at the same time to highlight the use of this traditional plant.
