We all know that there are four great Vedas.

Ayurveda is considered as the Fifth Veda, although Rig-Veda & Atharva-Veda consist knowledge of ayurveda to a great extent. Now i want to talk about the history of Ayurveda in simple words about its existence and origin.

History Of Ayurveda:-

First of all the Holy God  Brahama Ji got this knowledge with deep austerity, Then God Brahma Ji further passed this knowedge as shown in the chart below:-

Then Atreya & Punarvasu gave this Supreme knowledge to various students(Agnivesh, Bhel, Jatukarn, Prashar, Harit, Sharpani) and they wrote two important  books named Charak Sahita & Sushruta Sahita. Which have very deep knowledge about ayurveda.

 And there is no clear concept known, but these two concept are the basics of today's  Ayurveda.

Charak:- Contains knowledge about medicine. ( herbs, raw, minerals etc)

Sushruta:- Contains knowledge about surgery of different body organs and parts.

Charak is known as the father of modern medicine & Sushrut is known as the father of modern surgery.

Whatever knowledge we have gained about ayurveda in today's world is all from the ancient books written by the greatest Rishis.like( Ashtang- haridyam, Kasyap Sahita etc) and   we people just know very less about real ayurveda but then too this knowledge is sufficient  enough to live a healthy life.

Secondly, Many people believe that this origin of ayurveda is a myth. But all this worthy knowledge has been given to us by the greatest Rishis after experimenting various herbs and minerals for many years. And all this knowledge is travelling futher through the basic ritual of GURU-SHISHYA Parampra ( Teacher to Student)  that have been secured in various Books.
