Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)
: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa屹 (सिरावे�) or “blood letting� refers to one of the eight sections of Cikitsā or �(medical) treatment (for poison)�, according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣa쾱ٲ—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—In the penultimate Adhyāya of the Kāśyapasaṃhitā (XII. 63) the sage states that 쾱ٲ or treatment for poison is eight-fold [viz., blood letting (屹)]. Formulations prescribed by Kāśyapa are reckoned for their easy availability, sheer clarity and easy administration. Rather than the use of chemicals, acids, bromides etc. he has drawn from the vast storehouse of nature, more so the vegetable kingdom whose efficacy has been observed, tried and recommended from time to time.

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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
