Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)

Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa

Tānasa (तानस) is the name of an ingredient used in the treatment (cikitsā) of poison due to donkeys (gardabha), according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—In the 12h adhyāya, Kāśyapasaṃhita adds external and internal antidotes for poisons of various animals [e.g., donkeys (gardabha)] and insects. [...] Accordingly, “A drink of goat’s milk mixed with powdered Trikaṭu, Uśīra, Mustā, lotus, Māṃsī and Padmaka nullifies poison of donkey, etc. A paste or lepa made of Aindrī, turmeric, Śaṅkhapīta leaves and Tānasa is also effective”.
