Ayurveda (science of life)
Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)
: Ancient Science of Life: Śodhana: An Ayurvedic process for detoxificationGodugdha (गोदुग्�) refers to the milk of Bos indicus, and is one of the ingredients considered useful when treating “poisonous plants� (ṣa) using the Śodhana process, which involves the purification as well as reduction in the levels of toxic principles according to Ayurvedic principles.—Ayurvedic classics (viz., the 17th-century Yogaratnakara) have emphasized various methods of Śodhana to overcome the undesired effects from various poisonous and non-poisonous drugs, involving different media specific to substances such as Godugdha (milk of Bos indicus), Gomūtra (urine of Bos indicus), Triphalā (combination of three fruits, Terminalia chebula, Terminalia bellarica and Emblica officinalis) and lemon juice etc
It has been reported that Gomūtra (“cow’s urine�) converts Aconite to a compound with cardiac stimulant property, whereas, raw Aconite showed cardiac depressant properties. Śodhana by both Gomūtra and Godugdha (“cow’s milk�) makes Aconite devoid of cardiac and neuro–muscular toxic effects without affecting its antipyretic activity.

Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
