Cannabis and hemp, traditionally known as Vijaya in ancient Indian texts, have held a revered position in Ayurveda for thousands of years. References to Vijaya can be traced back to some of the earliest classical Ayurvedic and Vedic scriptures, including the Atharvaveda and later authoritative works such as the Bhavaprakasha Nighantu. These texts acknowledge the plant not merely as a natural resource, but as a sacred botanical with profound therapeutic potential.
