Про чай (Страница 1 из 5)

Что это нигханту?

Āyurveda mentions the four important pillars of treatment viz., physician, drug, nursing attendant and patient for successful management of any disease condition and drug (dravya) has been given second priority among these four factors. Nighaṇṭu not only offer comprehensive information on synonyms, properties, actions, indications of various drugs but also provides clarifications on their identity.

Paṇḍita Narahari, the author of celebrated work ‘Rājanighaṇṭu’ has rightly quoted 'A Physician without knowledge of Nighaṇṭu (lexicon), a scholar without the knowledge of Vyākaraṇa (grammar) and a soldier without Āyudha (weapon) are nothing but laughable stock in the world’; this popular quote echoes the importance of Nighaṇṭu (Lexicon) in every day clinical practice of Āyurveda.

Āyurveda being a Śāstra (technical treatise) and more so directly deals with human life is very meticulous in presenting the subject matter in a very structured, codified manner to ensure uniformity and effectiveness. In this lineage are the first group presenting the Knowledge in the form of proceedings, as a conversation between the teacher and disciple (Saṁhitā) and the second group in the form of Nighaṇṭu (Lexicon) format. The first group deals the subject in theme based manner whereas the second one provides the clarification and explanations to the words used in the first group. They complement each other and one cannot be well versed in Āyurveda without going through these materials together.

Речь идет об обычном черном чае или другом?

Чай (Camellia sinensis, Camellia assamica)

Доброго дня! :)

Из лекции по тибетской медицине (одного тибетского ламы):
зелёный чай очищает кровь и печень;
чёрный - стимулирует деятельность сердца и увеличивает "рлунг", энергию (т.е. является энергетическим стимулятором в чистом виде).
