Ayurveda (science of life)
Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)
Phytomining (i.e., “harvesting of mineral nutrients in plants”), refers of the modern applications which could benefit from ancient Indian agriculture, which presents a safe technology and methodology regarding organic agriculture and plant mutagenesis (druma-vichitrikaranam), according to treatises (such as the Vrikshayurveda).—Phytoremediation: Drumavichītrikaranam can be also designed for phytoremediation and phytomining. Phytoremediation is used to remove toxic waste and pollutants using plants (including algae and bacteria). Phytomining is the harvesting of mineral nutrients in plants. Phytochelatins, such as glutathione, have an important role in these processes. The principles of drumavichitrikaranam can help in excess production of phytochelatins in a manner similar to production of fragrance.
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.
