Ayurveda (science of life)

Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)

Phytoremediation (used to remove toxic waste using plants) refers to one 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.
