Ayurvedic medicines and ingredients

Ayurvedic medicines and ingredients 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.
