Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyTrapvādi (त्रप्वादि) is the Sanskrit name for a group of medicinal drugs; this group in particulair referring to all metals. It was originally composed by Suśruta in his Suśrutasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna XXXVIII, a classic work on Āyurveda. The name is derived from the words trapu (‘tin’) and ādi, translating to “first” or “commencement”. Examples of plants pertaining to this category include Vaṅga, Nāga and Tāmra. The collection of drugs named Trapvādi is but one of the thirty-seven gaṇas (‘sections’) of such groups.

The present group is regarded as a good vermifuge and possessed of the virtue of neutralising the effects of chemical poison originated through incompatible combinations. Its therapeutic range covers jaundice, chlorosis, Meha (morbid secretions from the urethra), Hridroga (heart disease), thirst and maladies incidental to the effects of poison.
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.
