The Ayurveda means the science of life. Medicine
apart, various other aspects of life also come within
the pure view of Ayurveda. The practice of herbal
medicine dates back to the very earliest periods
of known history. |
There
is evidence of herbs having been used in the treatment
of diseases and for revitalizing body systems in
almost all ancient civilizations-the Indian, the
Egyptian, the Chinese and even the Greek and Roman
civilizations. Plants were the mainstay of medicine
and credited with spiritual and almost supernatural
powers of healing . Herbs are used in many different
ways. The ultimate objective of their use is that
they should interact directly with our body chemistry.
|
|
|
In India, the records indicate, that herbs have
been in use for treating diseases since ancient
times. Many of the plants mentioned in the Rig Veda
can be identified with reasonable certainty, although
references to plants in Rig Veda are very sketchy. |
|
A firmly comprehensive information about herbs has
been recorded in Charaka Samhita and Shusruta Samhita
-the two most important works on Ayurvedic system
medicine. |
