is a complete guide to your knowledge for Ayurveda.
The knowledge of Ayurveda is believed to be
of Divine origin and was communicated to the
saints and sages of India who received its wisdom
through deep meditation. Ayurvedic knowledge
was passed down orally through the generations
and then written down in the Vedas, the sacred
texts of India believed to be the oldest writings
in the world.
Written in Sanskrit, the Vedas cover a vast
number of subjects from grammar to health care.
The Vedas were written approximately 2500 BC
or earlier. Current knowledge about Ayurveda
is mostly drawn from relatively later writings,
primarily the Caraka Samhita (approximately
1500 BC), the Ashtang Hrdyam (approximately
500 AD), and the Sushrut Samhita (300 - 400
AD). These three classics describe the basic
principles and theories from which Ayurveda
has evolved. They also contain vast clinical
information on the management of a multitude
of diseases expanded upon by later writings
and research.
