Chemistry:Rājamārtaṇḍa
From HandWiki
Rājamārtaṇḍa (also called Yogasārasaṅgraha and Nanāvidhayogasārasaṅgraha) is a Sanskrit treatise on Āyurveda believed to have been composed by Bhojarāja (d.1055) of the Rajput Paramāra dynasty, rulers of the Malwa region in central/western India. This is primarily a work describing mono-herbal Ayurvedic medicinal preparations.[1] The work is divided into 34 chapters. The first chapter deals with diseases of the head and the last chapter is concerned with animal diseases.[2] Rājamārtaṇḍa is one of the earliest Ayurveda texts to mention a specific prescription as a contraceptive.[3]
