In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)
Peṣita (पेषित) refers to “mixing (ingredients)”, according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—Accordingly, one of the treatments of Śophamaṇḍalī-snake-bites is mentioned as follows: “A bandage made of the bark of Pañcāmra containing a bolus of a measure of Doṣā, dung of she-buffalo must be wrapped. A drink consisting of ginger, salt, white grains mixed with curd (dadhi-peṣita) and cooked in lemon juice will remove the swelling. ointment prepared from husk and coconut water also quells the swelling caused by Śophamaṇḍalī”.
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.
