TEXTBOOKS OF AYURVEDA

Ayurveda, like other eastern knowledge, has its origins in the Vedas (ocean of knowledge). Even while all four vedas contain Ayurvedic material, the Atharvaveda contains far more Ayurvedic information than the other vedas. As a result, Acharya Charaka has stated unequivocally that we Ayurveda physicians should hold Atharvaveda in high regard.

Apart from the Atharvaveda, Ayurveda draws its inspiration from three primary classical books, one of which is known as Brihat-Trayi and the other three as Laghu-Trayi. Among Brihat-Trayi Charaka Samhita is considered the standard text of Kayachikitsa (internal medicine), Sushruta Samhita is the classic of Shalya-Shalakya (surgery and E.N. T.), and Ashtanga Hridaya appears to be a blend of the two with certain additions.

The exquisite compendium of etiopathogenesis and indications symptoms of all diseases recorded in classics is Laghu-Trayi Madhava Nidana.The second is the Sharangdhar Samhita, which is an excellent work of Ayurveda that has been beautifully presented in a concise and lucid format with many newer additions and alterations. The third is Bhavaprakasha, which elaborates on the Ayurvedic plarmacopea in addition to all other Ayurvedic literature.

Apart from the aforementioned masterpieces, there is also the Kashyap Samhita, which is a comprehensive and famous book on Bal-Roga (Paediatrics) as well as other Ayurvedic resources.

Aside from the aforementioned classics and other books relevant to Ayurveda, other classics and works from a later time are also used as Ayurveda source material. However, some of these works have been destroyed or discovered to be incomplete. As a result, these works are not thought to be worth reading or practicing.

All living beings are in the same boat. The digestive process and its mechanism are the same as they were in the first human being. The respiratory system, circulatory system, digestive system, reproductive system, and all other biological functions of the systems have remained unchanged throughout human history on the globe.
