| The
ancient science of Ayurveda is the oldest known form of health care in the
world. Often called the mother of all healing, it originated in India some
5000 or more years ago. Recently Ayurveda has been having a profound impact
upon the world of health care. The potential of this ancient healing system
to bring healing to those suffering with chronic diseases has been recognised
worldwide. The Ayurvedic Classics Charakasamhita
and Susrutasamhita contain about
10,000 slokas. The former is a major
work on internal medicine and the later describes highly developed surgery.
