In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Wisdom Library: 膧yurveda and botany鲍辫辞诲颈办腻 (啶夃お啷嬥う啶苦啶�) is a Sanskrit word referring to Basella rubra (Indian spinach), from the Basellaceae family. Certain plant parts of 鲍辫辞诲颈办腻 are eaten as a vegetable (艣腻办补), according to Caraka in his Carakasa峁僪it膩 s奴trasth膩na (chapter 27), a classical Ayurvedic work. The plant is therefore part of the 艢膩kavarga group of medicinal plants, referring to the 鈥済roup of vegetables/pot-herbs鈥�. Caraka defined such groups (vargas) based on the dietic value of the plant. It is a perennial succulent glabrous twining herb with white or red branches, growing all over India. It has thick broadly ovate leaves, with flowers white or red in spikes, and has globose fruits red that are white or black.
膧yurveda (啶嗋く啷佮ぐ啷嵿さ啷囙う, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of 膧yurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
