Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Sushruta samhita, Volume ISoil refers to the classification of the soil in different land regions according to Chapter XXXVII of the Sutrasthana of the Sushruta Samhita—an important and ancient text on dealing with Ayurveda (the ancient India science of life).—Chapter 37 deals with the distinctive traits of the different classes of soil commended for the growth or culture of medicinal herbs. [...] [For example]: A ground which possesses a soil which is glossy, firm, steady, black, yellowish or red and does not contain any sand, potash or any other alkaline substance, and is favourable to the germination of plants and easily pervious to the roots of plants growing thereon, and which is supplied with the necessary moisture from a close or adjacent stream or reservoir of water, is recommended for the growth of medicinal plants and herbs.
As soil admits of being divided into six different classes according to its smell, colour, taste, etc. so the sap of a medicinal plant may assume any of the six different tastes through its contact with the peculiar properties of the soil it grows on. Tastes such as, sweet, etc., remain latent in water, which imparts them to the soil in a patent or perceptible condition.
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.
