In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Indian Journal of History of Science: Jvaranirnaya: a rare monograph on diagnosis of fevers from the pre-colonial eraDvandvaja (द्वन्द्वज) or Dvandvajaprakaraṇa refers to the third chapter of the Jvaranirṇaya: an Ayurvedic manuscript dealing exclusively with types of jvara (fevers) written by Sri Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita in the 16th century CE.—The uniqueness of the text is that one can get a comprehensive classification, symptomatology and diagnosis of jvara, all at one place in this text. [...] This section is called “dvandva” because it deals with explanations mainly of the combination of two Doṣa. The section starts with the explanation of prakṛti-sama-samaveta / hetu-guṇa / samavāya and vikṛti-viṣama-samaveta / hetu-anānurupa-guṇa / viśeṣa (ayurvedic concepts of understanding the heterogeneity of patterns in a same disease).
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.
