In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Ancient Science of Life: Physicochemical Screening and Shelf Life Evaluation of Kuṅkumādi GhṛtaMukhadūṣikā (मुखदूषिका) refers to “Acne vulgaris” which can be treated with Kuṅkumādi-ghṛta: an Ayurvedic formulation commonly recommended in skin disorders, especially Mukhadūṣikā (Acne vulgaris). Kesara (stigma of Crocus sativus Linn.) is a prime ingredient in the formulation. However, due to high cost and increased adulteration in Kesara, ‘Nāgakesara’ (Mesua ferrea Linn.) is suggested by Ayurvedic experts as a substitute.
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.
