In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyVetrāgra (वेत्राग्र) is a Sanskrit word referring to Salix caprea (goat willow), from the Salicaceae family. Certain plant parts of Vetrāgra are eaten as a vegetable (śāka), according to Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna (chapter 27), a classical Ayurvedic work. It is also known as Maṇḍūkī. The plant is therefore part of the Śākavarga group of medicinal plants, referring to the “group of vegetables/pot-herbs”. Caraka defined such groups (vargas) based on the dietic value of the plant.
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.
