Talk:Attar/Archive 1

Needs to be cleaned up
I have undone the horrible deletion of most of the information by the previous user. I have added proper references, please include them if you want to add anything further so it's not again deleted by others. Thanks--Rudvedic (talk) 10:03, 2 May 2017 (UTC)rudvedic

majorly. Grammar is atrocious.
 * Agree, serious difficulties caused by non-standard English. Some sections are difficult to comprehend because of the poor language. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 23:19, 28 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Attar wasn't introduced by Muslims. As already mentioned Attar (Sugandha) has been known and manufactured in India thousands of years before Islam.
 * How can I change the original text? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.10.173.4 (talk) 04:06, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

 * They balance the Doshas (Vata, Pitta & Kapha) and promote the energy of the Chakras. sound like crap to me. Who can clear this? Simon de Danser (talk) 17:20, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * There is no mention of the method of production / distillation or of the ancient techniques . That would be a nice addition --- Leningrad (talk)  July 2014

charaka samhita, sushruta samhita, birhat samhita and other texts
do these texts specifically mention making attars like mixing herbs with sandal wood to extract herbs smells because this is very important for making attars, indians were known for agarwood perfumery, i ust wanna know that if attar making is attested in these texts, because i was watching one video where it is stated that persian perfumist Attar of Nishapur was the first guy to apply this method of extracting rose petals smell/ smells which couldnt be extracted on their own from sandalwood. If this is true than attar is not indian but persian. The name already suggests its persian origin. One attar which is famous originating from india is mitti attar, but i think mitti attar is first attested in the ninteenth century.
