In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyPattūra (पत्तूर) is a Sanskrit word referring to Alternanthera sessilis (dwarf copperleaf), from the Amaranthaceae family. Certain plant parts of Pattūra 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. It is also known as Matsyākṣī. Other botanical synonyms include: Alternanthera denticulata, Gomphrena sessilis and Illecebrum sessile. Other commonly used English names include: “sessile joyweed”.
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.
