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.
Rasashastra (chemistry and alchemy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Rasa-śāstraSvarabheda (स्वरभेद) refers to “hoarseness” according to the fifth volume of the Rasajalanidhi (chapter 5). Accordingly, “Svarabheda (hoarseness) is due to the sound-carrying passages being choked with the abnormal excess of vayu, etc. owing to any one or some of these causes:—(1) speaking loudly, (2) taking of poison, (3) reading loudly and (4) physical shock received at the throat”.
Hoarseness (svarabheda) is of six different kinds, according as it may be due to (a) vayu, (b) pitta (c) kapha, (d) a combination of the three, (e) excess of fat, and (f) consumption”.
Rasashastra (रसशास्त्र, rasaśāstra) is an important branch of Ayurveda, specialising in chemical interactions with herbs, metals and minerals. Some texts combine yogic and tantric practices with various alchemical operations. The ultimate goal of Rasashastra is not only to preserve and prolong life, but also to bestow wealth upon humankind.
