In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Pradhāna-karma is a medical term used in Ayurveda meaning "principal therapeutical or surgical appliances".
Several authorities hold that application of absorbent (Pāchana) or healing medicinal agents, within the second or the principal measures (Pradhāna-karma);
Others, on the contrary, lay down that the administration of active purgatives, emetics etc., should be grouped under the second subhead (Pradhāna-karma)
While according to others, measures employed for the subjugation of a disease in its patent or fully developed stage should be denominated as the Pradhána-karma.
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.
