Hindu Medicine c7.161

Language: English

c7.161

The “Science of Longevity” (āyurveda), as it evolved in the Ātreya school of Brahmin doctors and was recorded through Caraka’s compilation, contains no chapter on surgery. This branch of medical skill evidently did not become part of the regular equipment of Hindu medical men; not, at any rate, before the first century A. D.
