Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (ayurveda)Vātānvita (वातान्वित) refers to “having an imbalance of the vāta type” (in the blood), according to the Kāśyapasaṃhitā (Khilasthāna, verse 9.43-45ab) in a chapter on abdominal swelling caused by vitiation of the blood.—Accordingly, “Listen to the cause of that which produces the cravings [of a seemingly pregnant woman with raktagulma]. Generally, there is desire for those tastes which cause an increase of the bodily constituents because of the true similarity of their origin. [When] the vitiated blood has a Vāta or Pitta [imbalance] (vātānvita) [vātapittānvitaṃ raktaṃ] and is accumulating, it fuels desire for tastes such as [those which are] acrid, sour, salty and so on”.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics.
