Origin: “Arka”

The traditional uses of Chili, Turmeric and Neem have an ancient and well-established application in the herbal science of Ayurveda, an ancient system of herbal medicine preparation in which aqueous herbal extracts are distilled to produce herbal essences.  Arka root is a special plant that is mentioned ubiquitously in almost all ancient Ayurvedic texts.
In Sanskrit, Arka means Radiance of the Sun.  The term Arka is seen in a variety of Hindu scriptures, including the Bhagavad Gita:
Bhagavad-Gita 11.17

Kirīṭinaḿ gadinaḿ cakriṇaḿ ca
Tejo-rāśiḿ sarvato dīptimantam
Paśyāmi tvāḿ durnirīkṣyaḿ samantād
Dīptānalārka-dyutim aprameyam

SYNONYMS
kirīṭinam — with helmets; gadinam — with maces; cakriṇam — with discs; ca — and; tejaḥ-rāśim — effulgence; sarvataḥ — on all sides; dīpti-mantam — glowing;     paśyāmi — I see; tvām — You; durnirīkṣyam — difficult to see; samantāt — everywhere; dīpta-anala — blazing fire; arka — of the sun; dyutim — the sunshine; aprameyam — immeasurable.
