AYURVEDA



                       Ayurveda or Ayurvedic medicine is a Hindhu system of traditional medicine native to India and a form of altenative medicine. The earliest literature on indian medical practise appeared during the Vedic period in India , In Rigved , the oldest known text in written form , where Chyavana maharshi , son of Bhrigu maharshi is mentioned for whom the herbal preparation Chayawanprash was first prepared , 10,000 years ago  in Ashram of Chyavana maharshi on Dhosi Hill in the Vedic state of Brahmavarta in India. The Susruta Samhita and the Charaka Samhita , encyclopedias of medicine complied from various sources from the mid-first millennium BCE to about 500 CE , are among the foundational and formally complied works of Ayurveda. Over the following centuries , ayurvedic practitioners developed a number of medicinal preparations and surgical procedures for the treatment of various elements. Current practices derived from Ayurvedic medicine are regarded as part of complementary and alternative medicine.
