Salab Panja, botanically known as Dactylorhiza hatagirea, is one of the most prestigious and highly valued herbs in the Unani and Greco-Arabic medical systems. It is an endangered species of orchid found in the high-altitude Himalayan regions. The name "Panja" refers to the hand-shaped (palmate) appearance of its tuberous roots. In traditional medicine, it is classified as having a "Hot and Moist" (Garm-o-Tar) temperament. It is regarded as a powerful natural anabolic and restorative, specifically used to replenish the body's vital essence and restore physical youthfulness.
