2. 2. HISTORY OF INDIA India is a vast country which has large number of historical tradition and culture. The India is a country which was formed by the submerge of large Tamil continent KUMARI KANDAM(LEMURIYA). The country India was formed at 28,000 B.C ago The people of India (kumari kandam) was believed in different numbers of cultures , tradition and gave respect to the individual faith. The kumari kandam has a mountain range known as MERU MOUNTAIN RANGE and the history told that the mountain has large numbers of herbal plants and most of the heelers like NAGARJUNA are stay in the mountain range and heel the peoples

8. 8. Ayurveda = Ayu + Veda Ayu is life Veda is knowledge or science Ayurveda THE SCIENCE OF LIFE AYURVEDAM
9. 9. Ayurveda is a science dealing not only with treatment of some diseases but is a complete way of life PRINCIPLES OF AYURVEDA DOSHAS DHATUS - Tissues MALAS - Waste products
10. 10. Ayurveda tells that human body made 5 essential components Ayurveda tells that the human body was balanced by three things. They are 1)The vata(combination of atmosphere and air) ,2)The kapha (combination of earth and water),3)The pitta (combination of water and fire)
11. 11. Ayurveda tells that the human body has 7 chakras(circles) which is also made up of the 5 elements. They are: 1)crown of head, 2)between the eye brows, 3) thorat, 4)right of the heart, 5) narvel, 6)above the genitals, 7)just above the anus
12. 12. The Ayurvedic classics mention eight branches of medicine: kycikits (internal medicine), alyacikits (surgery including anatomy), lkyacikits (eye, ear, nose, and throat diseases), kaumrabhtya (pediatrics), bhtavidy(spirit medicine), and agada tantra (toxicology), rasyana (science of rejuvenation), and vjkaraa (aphrodisiacs, mainly for men)
13. 13. The ancient Indians are excelled at surgery. The great surgical textbook, Sushruta Samhita, probably dates back to the last centuries B.C. This work described 20 sharp and 101 blunt surgical instruments. These instruments included forceps, pincers, trocars (sharp- pointed instruments fitted with a small tube), and cauteries (irons to heat and sear tissue). Most of these surgical tools were made of steel. The ancient Hindus also used lancets to carry out cataract surgery, scalpels to restore amputated noses via plastic surgery, and sharp knives to remove bladder stones. At about the same time, ancient Peruvians were performing trepanation. They left behind various surgical instruments, including scalpels and chisels made of obsidian. ANCIENT INDIANS SURGERY
14. 14. Importance of Surgery It is known that ancient Indian physicians performed surgical operations such as cataract and rhinoplasty. Besides those, some other surgical operations to abdomen and bladder (removal of stones) and even dental surgery performed. Indian physicians knew how blood vessels should be sealed after cutting and performed cauterisation. All those show us that indian surgical treatment was excellent in those centuries.
15. 15. Public health and hygiene Depending on written records, epidemics and illnesses must have been frequent throughout the subcontinent. There is evidence for malaria, dysenteriea, cholera, plague, leprosy tuberculosis etc. The first establishment of the hospitals are not clear, but there exist inscriptions that hospitals for humans and even for animals existed since the 3rd century BC.
16. 16. VETEINARY SCIENCE Animals receive good medicine care in ancient India. Physicians treating human being were also trained in care of animals. Indian medical treaties like Charka, sushuta, and harita Samhita contains chapters about care of animals. The greatest and most reverted teachers of vednary science was salihotra, the father of vednary science followed by palkaya and atreya. Almost all aspects of surgery and medicine including veterinary ethics were dealt-in ancient medical veterinary science SALIHOTRA
17. 17. GOLDEN AGE OF INDIAN MEDICINE The golden age of Indian medicine, from 800 bc until about ad 1000, was marked especially by the production of the medical treatises known as the Caraka- sahit andSuruta-sahit, attributed, respectively, to Caraka, a physician, and Suruta, a surgeon. Estimates place the Caraka-sahit in its present form as dating from the 1st century ad, although there were earlier versions. The Suruta-sahit probably originated in the last centuries bc and had become fixed in its present form by the 7th centuryad. Of somewhat lesser importance are the treatises attributed to Vagbhata. All later writings on Indian medicine were based on these works.
