Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha ChikitsaIncision (in Sanskrit: Cheda) refers to one of the eight divisions of (Medical) treatment (of Poison) (i.e., Cikitsā), according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Toxicology.—In Kāśyapasaṃhitā (XII.63) the sage states that treatment for poison (cikitsā) is eight-fold [viz., incision (cheda)]. Formulations prescribed by Kāśyapa are reckoned for their easy availability, sheer clarity and easy administration. Rather than the use of chemicals, acids, bromides etc. he has drawn from the vast storehouse of nature, more so the vegetable kingdom whose efficacy has been observed, tried and recommended from time to time.
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.
