In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Rasashastra (Alchemy and Herbo-Mineral preparations)
Source: Wisdom Library: Rasa-śāstraVātodara (वातोदर) refers to “formation of gas in the stomach” and represents one of the eight types of udararoga (“diseases affecting the belly”) according to the fourth volume of the Rasajalanidhi (chapter 6). Accordingly, “Vatodara is signified by the formation, in the stomach, of gas, which causes the throboing of the glands down below the navel, felt by the pressure of the fingers; belching, heaviness felt in the belly; constipation; and occasional swelling of the belly due to wind. [...] Vatodara of long standing, if not cured, is generally followed by a growth (due to swelling of the glands round about the navel)”.
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.
