History of Ayurved... charaka samhita (ancient way of treatment)

Ayurved...


Lord of Ayurved

History

It is said that Ayurved treatment was present since the​ origin of mankind.

Ayurved is not merely a science for treatment of body but it also covers the subtle mind and spirit in the process of attaining a complete State of health.

According to the scriptures (charaka samhita), lord bramha recalled the knowledge of Ayurved. He then passed the same to sage Daksha Prajapati, then to Ashwinkumar (dr. Of heaven) and atlast it came to lord indra. But still the knowledge of Ayurved was available in heaven and only known to lords.

Lord Bhrahma >>> Daksha prajapati >>> Ashwinkumar >>> lord Indra

After sometime, diseases kept rising on Earth. And a number of people died without any medicinal treatment, the kind sages called for a meeting in the Great Himalayan mountain where they decided to save the mankind by bringing the knowledge of Ayurved from heaven to Earth.

The meeting was held. But the question arises that who will take this immense responsibility to go to heaven and learn Ayurved from lord indra???

Atlast, Sage Bhardvaj voluntarily announced his name and went to the heaven for the upliftment of mankind. Sage Bhardvaj presented himself to lord indra and told him about ailments on Earth and requested him to bestow him with the knowledge of Ayurved.

Lord indra then taught him all the fundamentals of Ayurved ("The trisutra Ayurved"). And then after few days sage Bhardwaj left for Earth.

Sage Bhardvaj was warmly welcomed as a hero and then he taught all the other sages and told them to cure the mankind with the sacred Ayurved.

From sage bhardwaj knowledge of Ayurved came into hands of many brilliant sages who then wrote it down on bark of trees for preserving it for future generations. Which is now a days are the reference books in Ayurved. (Charaka samhita, susrtuta samhita, Asthang hridaya, Astang sangrah and others)

Today Time have disorganized many text but still even in 21st century the basic fundamentals and concept of Ayurved cannot be challenged. Many research work and experiments have proven the concept of Ayurved.

Ayurved can be considered sacred as it was acquired from the heaven.
