Though the Atharva-veda proper recommends the use of various plants in the treatment of different diseases yet from the high praise bestowed upon amulets or 惭补峁噄蝉, we can infer that these plants were mostly used as amulets^[1].

The Atharvaveda says that there are many benefits to holding the amulet. Besides, even if you hold a 丑颈谤补峁噛补, the body has a lot of hives. Namely-Golden is beneficial for longevity, increases energy, destroys various diseases and provides beauty. According to some scholars, 惭补峁噄 can be made of anything and it is tied or worn like a garland or amulet. The common word for 尘补峁噄 is 尘补苍补办腻. The person has to make a 尘补苍补办腻 of some special tree and tie it on his body like an amulet. The qualities of a particular tree are also present in that 尘补苍补办腻. The 尘补苍补办腻 cures those special diseases. That is why Atharva Veda has spoken of holding the amulet. An amulet or 惭补峁噄 is considered from the earliest times as medicine of miraculous effects^[2]. It is not possible to foretell how an amulet would behave under given conditions (acintya-辫谤补产丑腻惫补).

That its working cannot be predicted was recognized by Caraka and Su艣ruta also.鈥�

The sages speak of Prabh膩va which according to them, works mysteriously unlike ordinary medicines. Thus, though the two medicines鈥搕he ordinary one and the amulet have an equal quantity of Rasa, 痴墨谤测补 and 痴颈辫腻办补, they might behave differently about their medicinal effect^[4]. The idea of 惭补峁噄蝉 was accepted by the medical schools from the 膧tharva峁�. The Atharvaveda speaks of the amulet as a thing with life^[5]; as born of God^[6]; as Deva^[7]; as the body of Agni^[8], as 厂补丑补蝉谤腻办峁�a and 痴墨谤补^[9]. Some of the famous 尘补峁噄 are discussed below鈥�
