Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)
Śiroruha (शिरोरुह) refers to “head-ache”, and is a symptom caused by snake-bites (such as the Kumbhamaṇḍalī-snakes), 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).—Accordingly, the symptoms are described as follows: “Shivering, nasal speech, exhaustion caused by thirst and related discomfort, lack of co-ordination, yawning, fever, head-ache (śiroruha) [śiroruhajā], trembling of the tongue, cold, pain due to burning sensation in the body and quivering of lips”
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.
