Unclassified Ayurveda definitions
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyTaṇḍulīya (उपोदिका) is a Sanskrit word referring to Amaranthus spinosus (spiny amaranth), from the Amaranthaceae family. Certain plant parts of Upodikā are eaten as a vegetable (śāka), according to Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna (chapter 27), a classical Ayurvedic work. 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. It is an annual herb with multiple branches annual growing to 2 ft.
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.
