In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Aṅgamarda (अङ्गमर्द) refers to “rheumatism ”, mentioned in verse 4.13-14 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] (From the restraint) of sleep (result) stupor, heaviness of head and eyes, indolence, yawning, and rheumatism [viz., aṅgamarda]. In this case sleep and massages (are) desirable”.
Note: A problem is posed by aṅgamarda, which syntactically still belongs to the preceding list of diseases and hence cannot be taken in its literal sense of “body massage”. While the other commentators are silent on the point, Candranandana paraphrases:—“aṅgāni mṛdyanta iva”—“the limbs are, as it were, crushed”. This harmonizes on the whole with the Tibetan rendering lus źig sñam sems—“the body is, as it were, ruined”, the first component of which has previously (v. 12) been used for translating aṅgabhanga—“racking in the limbs”. The term aṅgamarda should therefore be understood in a similar way; Böhtlingk (pw II p. 286, with reference to Car. II 6.8) suggests “Gliederreissen”.—On the meaning of sñam sems (lit. “one thinks in one’s mind”) see I.11.20, where, the clause meḍhraṃ dhūmāyatīva—“the penis, as it were, smokes” has been turned pho-mthsan thsig-pa sñam-du, sems.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
