In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyKutumbaka (कुतुम्बक) is a Sanskrit word referring to Lamium album (white nettle), from the Lamiaceae family. Certain plant parts of Kutumbaka 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”.
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.
