In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Śarīrakārya (शरीरकार्य) refers to the “affairs of the body”, and is mentioned in verse 2.1 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Instead of śarīracintā (“care of the body”) the translation has lus-kyi bya-ba, which rather corresponds to śarīrakārya (“affairs of the body”). This expression seems more relevant inasmuch as it more clearly implies, besides the idea of making toilet, that of relieving nature, for which activity the rite of purification is meant in the first place.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics.
