Cikitsa (natural therapy and treatment for medical conditions)
Source: Wisdom Library: Ayurveda: CikitsaTāmalakī (तामलकी) is a Sanskrit word referring to Phyllanthus amarus, a small herb from the Phyllanthaceae family of flowering plants. It is also known as Bhūmyāmalakī. It is used throughout Ayurvedic literature such as the Caraka-saṃhitā. Its medicinal uses include stomach related problems. The plant is also used in gonorrhea, menorrhagia and other genital conditions.
This plant (Tāmalakī) is also mentioned as a medicine used for the treatment of all major fevers (jvara), as described in the Jvaracikitsā (or “the treatment of fever”) which forms the first chapter of the Sanskrit work called Mādhavacikitsā.
Kalpa (Formulas, Drug prescriptions and other Medicinal preparations)
Source: Ancient Science of Life: Evaluation of Cyavanaprāśa on Health and Immunity related Parameters in Healthy ChildrenTāmalakī (तामलकी) refers to the medicinal plant known as Phyllanthus niruri, Pl., and is used in the Ayurvedic formulation known as Cyavanaprāśa: an Ayurvedic health product that helps in boosting immunity.—Cyavanaprāśa has been found to be effective as an immunity booster, vitalizer and a preventer of day to day infections and allergies such as common cold and cough etc. It is a classical Ayurvedic formulation comprising ingredients such as Tāmalakī. [...] Cyavanaprāśa can be consumed in all seasons as it contains weather friendly ingredients which nullify unpleasant effects due to extreme environmental and climatic conditions.
Source: Shodhganga: Edition translation and critical study of yogasarasamgrahaTāmalakī (तामलकी) refers to the medicinal plant known as “Phyllanthus amarus Schum. & Thonn.” and is dealt with in the 15th-century Yogasārasaṅgraha (Yogasara-saṅgraha) by Vāsudeva: an unpublished Keralite work representing an Ayurvedic compendium of medicinal recipes. The Yogasārasaṃgraha [mentioning tāmalakī] deals with entire recipes in the route of administration, and thus deals with the knowledge of pharmacy (bhaiṣajya-kalpanā) which is a branch of pharmacology (dravyaguṇa).
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics.
