In Hinduism

Ayurveda (science of life)

Cikitsa (natural therapy and treatment for medical conditions)

Source: Wisdom Library: Ayurveda: Cikitsa

1) Amlavetasa (अम्लवेतस) is a Sanskrit word referring to Solena amplexicaulis, a species of plant from the Cucurbitaceae (gourd) family of flowering plants, and is used throughout Ayurvedic literature such as the Caraka-saṃhitā.

2) Amlavetasa (अम्लवेतस) is a Sanskrit word referring to Garcinia pedunculata, a species of evergreen tree from the Clusiaceae (or, Guttiferae) family of flowering plants, and is used throughout Ayurvedic literature such as the Caraka-saṃhitā. The tree grows throughout certain regions of Asia (e.g. Myanmar and India). The tree has a fluted trunk with short spreading branches. Its leaves are shaped like lances (lanceolate) with prominent midribs. Male flowers are light green of color but the female flowers are solitary. The roundish fruit has a diameter ranging between 8 to 12 cm. It has edible arils.

This plant (Amlavetasa) is also mentioned as a medicine used for the treatment of all major fevers, as described in the Jvaracikitsā (or “the treatment of fever”) which forms the first chapter of the Sanskrit work called Mādhavacikitsā.

Kalpa (Formulas, Drug prescriptions and other Medicinal preparations)

Amlavetasa (अम्लवेतस) [or Amḷavetasa] refers to the medicinal plant known as “Solena amplexicaulis (Lam.) Gandhi” and is dealt with in the 15th-century Yogasārasaṅgraha (Yogasara-saṅgraha) by Vāsudeva: an unpublished Keralite work representing an Ayurvedic compendium of medicinal recipes. The Yogasārasaṃgraha [mentioning amlavetasa] deals with entire recipes in the route of administration, and thus deals with the knowledge of pharmacy (bhaiṣajya-kalpanā) which is a branch of pharmacology (dravyaguṇa).

Unclassified Ayurveda definitions

1) The tuber of Solena amplexicaulis (L.) Gandhi is used as ‘Amlavetasa’ in most places in Keralam. Perhaps it is only a substitute. Synonyms: Gumti, Satavedi, Amlabhedana and Gulmaketa.

2) In some commentaries of ancient texts, Garcinia Pedunculata is the plant equated with ‘Amlavetasa’. It is a tree. Part used is fruit-wall.

3) Perhaps Rumex vesicarius is the genuine drugplant. As it is not commonly found in Keralam the more easily obtained Solena amplexicaulis is used. Synonyms: Amlabhedaka, Amlasara, Amla, Gulmaketu, Phalamla, Shatavedhi, Varamla and Vetasamla, among others.
