Ayurveda (science of life)
Dietetics and Culinary Art (such as household cooking)
Source: Shodhganga: Dietetics and culinary art in ancient and medieval IndiaVeṇuyava (वेणुयव) refers to “inferior barley” according to the Aṣṭāṅgasaṅgraha Sūtrasthāna VII.19, and is commonly found in literature dealing with the topics of dietetics and culinary art, also known as Pākaśāstra or Pākakalā.—Barley (yava) is the ancient staple food known to Vedic Indians and thus it enjoyed the staple food status in this period. All other cereals, whether it is rice or wheat, get only a secondary status in this period. It can be seen that the rice gets an equal status of barley only in the period of Atharvaveda which states that barley and rice are the two immortal sons of heaven. Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha identifies two varieties of barley which are anuyava—the superior one and the veṇuyava—the inferior one.
Unclassified Ayurveda definitions
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyVeṇuyava (वेणुयव) is a Sanskrit word referring to “barley-shaped seeds of bamboo”. It is a type of “awned grain” (śūkadhānya), according to Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna (chapter 27), a classical Ayurvedic work. The word is composed of veṇu (‘bamboo’) and yava (‘barley’). The plant Veṇuyava is part of the Śūkadhānyavarga group of medicinal plants, referring to the “group of awned grains”. Caraka defined such groups (vargas) based on the dietic value of the plant. Veṇuyava is rough and has astringent as subsidiary rasa. It is sweet, alleviates kapha and pitta and also fat, helminths (parasitic worms) and poisons. It is also strength-promoting.
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.
