Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)

Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa

Vraṇaropaṇa (व्रणरोपण) refers to an “application for wounds”, as described in the treatment (cikitsā) of poison due to rabid dogs (alarka), 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 and insects [e.g., dogs (śva)]. [...] Accordingly, “A man bitten by a rabid dog, if bathed in the sunlight and in the boiled preparation of Karañja will be cured. Root of Ālūpīta must be applied on the bite (vraṇaropaṇa) as lepa. This mixed with Gula, the wound must be burnt”.
