Book Description

Ayurveda is the only scripture or medical system in the world that guarantees to give a patient life to man. In all other medical practices, you will be treated first, but there is nothing guaranteed. Ayurveda is an eternal and continuum scripture. It is said to have originated through Shri Brahmaji, the creator of creation. Brahmaji gave the knowledge of Ayurveda to the master Prajapati. Shri Skilled Prajapati gave this knowledge to Ashwani Kumars. Then this knowledge came to Indra, the king of the gods. Devaraj Indra gave this knowledge to the sages and munites like Dattatreya, Purvasu, etc. After that this knowledge spread to the earth. There are many great sage and physicians who spread this knowledge on earth. Who have been coming from time to time and giving this knowledge to the people. Like Charak Rishi, Sushruth, Dattatreya Rishi, Revasu Rishi, Kashyap Rishi etc. In the same series, a great sage, Wagbhatta Rishi, who created a scripture to convey the knowledge of Ayurveda to the people, called "Ashtanga Hridayam".




The Roots of Ayurveda


Book Description

Ayurveda, the ancient art of healing, has been practiced in India for more than two thousand years and survives today as a living medical tradition whose principles are at the heart of many "alternative" therapies now used in the West. This "science of longevity" has parallels with Buddhist thought, and advocates a life of moderation through which the three humors of the body will be brought into balance. The writings selected for this volume are taken from Sanskrit medical texts written by the first Ayurvedic physicians, who lived between the fifth century b.c. and the fourteenth century a.d. Here readers will find wide-ranging and fascinating advice on the benefits of garlic therapy, prayers for protection against malevolent disease deities, surgical techniques, exercise regimens, the treatment of poisons, the interpretation of dreams, and more.
