Example text
5000 bc, according to the Indian scriptures, which have stood the test of time, dates extend to much earlier periods of human history. The ayurveda system of medicine and health care has valid links to the ancient books of wisdom—the Vedas. The word Veda in Sanskrit (Samskruta) means knowledge, and the language is Samskruta/Sanskrit, or Devanagari script. The term ayurveda comes from two words: ayuh (meaning life) and veda (meaning knowledge—the knowledge of longevity and life). Thus, ayurveda originated in India long ago in the prevedic period—the Rigveda and Atharva-veda (5000 years bc).
In the Purana legends of India (ancient scriptures), mention of poison is made during the mythological process of churning the cosmic ocean before the drink (amruta) of immortality is won. Much later (1493–1541), Paracelsus, the father of modern toxicology, pronounced a dictum of his own: Sola dosis facit veneum (“only the dose makes the poison”). “All substances are poisons, there is none which is not a poison. ” In other words, no substance is absolutely safe. What a glorified commonness between ancient thinkers from India very much earlier in history and of the West in later periods, without knowing each other during the periods of world history.
Toxicology is a multidisciplinary science and closely interrelated with many other branches of science. Chemical substances are required for health, progress, and societal development. In the very close linkage with an array of chemical substances and societal development, human health cannot be ignored. Therefore, thinkers of the past and present around the world framed regulations about the manners and methods of use of chemical substances. There are no safe chemical substances and all are toxic in one way or the other.
