In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyBhaṇḍī (भण्डी) is a Sanskrit word referring Albizia lebbeck (lebbeck), a plant species in the Fabaceae family. Certain plant parts of Bhaṇḍī 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. In India and Pakistan, the tree is used to produce timber.
