Sanjivani or Sanjeevani is a (mythical) magical herb which has the power to cure any malady. It is believed that medicines prepared from this herb can even revive a dead person. This herb is mentioned in the Ramayana when, during the battle with Ravana, Lakshmana was wounded and was nearly killed by Ravana's son Indrajit. Hanuman was called upon to fetch this herb from the mount Meru in the Himalayas. Upon reaching mount Meru, Hanuman was unable to identify the herb and decided to lift the entire mountain and brought it to the battle-field.


Sanjivani is also a name of a famous Indian TV serial.
