In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Rasashastra (Alchemy and Herbo-Mineral preparations)
Sindhūttha (सिन्धूत्थ) is a Sanskrit technical term translating to “rock salt”, which is the mineral form of sodium chloride (common salt). It is commonly used in Rasaśāstra literature (Medicinal Alchemy) such as the Rasaprakāśasudhākara or the Rasaratna-samuccaya. Gandhaka is an ingredient often used in various Ayurvedic recipes and Alchemical preparations. It is also known by the synonyms Saindhava, Manimuntha and Paṭu.
Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)
Sindhūttha (सिन्धूत्थ) or “salt” refers to a herbal ingredient which is included in a (snake) poison antidote recipe, according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā, which represents the Ayurvedic study on Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—In the Añjana or Collyrium segment of the eighth Adhyāya, Kāśyapa prescribes eight types of permutation and combination of herbs that effectively arrest poison. According to Kāśyapasaṃhitā (verse VIII.32)—“Powdered Māṃsī, sandalwood, salt (sindhūttha), Kṛṣṇayaṣṭi or Tulasī, petals of Lotus made into collyrium with urine promptly awakens one sleeping under the influence of poison”.
Veterinary Medicine (The study and treatment of Animals)
Sindhūttha (तिक्ताह्व) refers to a “pungent type of salt” (used in a mixture that is applied to the elephant goad), according to the 15th century Mātaṅgalīlā composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 12, “On the qualities of elephant drivers, etc.”]: “[While describing the origin and application of the Aṅkuśa or elephant hook]—23. A powder made of the kośātakī (plant), kṣāra (caustic alkali, or sugar?), the three spices, yellow arsenic, white mustard, and (nuts of) Semecarpus anacardium, mixed with the kind of salt (sindhūttha) called ‘pungent’ and the fruit of Embelia ribes,—when this is smeared on the hook, they declare that it controls an elephant [tiktāhvasindhūtthavilaṅgayuktaṃ sṛṇipraliptaṃ gajavaśyamāhuḥ] ”.
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.
