It is also considered as the Upaveda of Atharva Veda. Mythological origin of Ayurveda is depicted as Lord Brahma recollected the entire science and transferred to other Gods like Daksha Prajapathy Aswini Kumara and Indra. When the amount of Dharma (good deeds) reduced among the people by the beginning of Kali Yuga their health reduced and thus various diseases began to appear. Witnessing these circumstances, out of sympathy the great ancient sages headed by saint Bharadwaja assembled in the Himalayas and decided to seek Ayurveda from the gods. Thereby the Lord Indra taught Ayurveda and it was passed through generations in the form of Trisutra ie: Hetu (cause), Linga (symptom) and Aushadha (medicine). In the due course of time out of the eight branches of Ayurveda – Kaya (general medicine), Bala (pediatrics), Graha (psychiatry), Urdhwanga (ENT), Shalya (surgery), Damshtra (forensic and toxicology), Jara (geriatrics), Vrusha (aphrodisiacs) – two branches emerged popular as separate schools of thought –the Atreya school of Ayurveda (general medicine) and the Dhanwantari school of Ayurveda (surgery). Ayurveda considers Shareera is formed predominantly by Dosha, Dhathu and Mala. . Hence it is understood that every single microstructure in the body (micro and macro level) is also formed by the same. Doshas are Sharirika (Vata, Pitha and Kapha) and Manasika (Rajas and Tamas). Dhathu means tissue and is of seven types – Rasa (plasma), Raktha (blood – red cells), Mamsa (muscle), Meda (fat), Asthi (bones and cartilages), Majja (bone marrow, brain, eye), and Shukra (semen). Finally the Malas include mainly Pureesha (stool), Mutra (urine) and Sweda (sweat). There are subtypes for Dosha, Dhathu and Mala (Pancha Vatadi Dosha, Upadhathu, Upamalas). Ayurveda has a unique individuality approach to each patient. The Vaidya (physician) never diagnoses nor treats two different people in same manner because of this individuality approach. An individual is said to be the combination of Shareera (body), Indriyas (organs – both sensory and functional), Satwa (mind) and Atma (soul). The individual whom the treatment is to be done is known as Chikitsa Purusha who is the combination of Panchamahabhutas (5 elements – earth, water, fire, wind, ether) and Atma. According to the Pancha Pancheekarana Sidhanta (theory of combination of elements) it is evident that all the matter in this universe is made up of these 5 elements and only the constitution varies. The Human body, the food, the medicine, the liquids, or whatever we consume is thus made up of these five elements. Depending up on the nature of food/ drugs we consume the body nourishes or depletes as per the Samanya Vishesha Sidhanta (theory suggesting similar food stoutens and opposite food depletes). For e.g. consuming milk in Ayurveda can increase the breast milk, consuming meat can increase musculature, or consuming light food can deplete the body weight etc. Thus it is said that there is nothing in this universe which is not a medicine. The individuality approach of Ayurveda is mainly due to prakruthi and sara. Prakruthi is basically two types – Shareera (based on body) and Manasika (based on mind). Shareerika Prakruthi is of seven types based on the predominance of individual, duel or all three Doshas. Manasika Prakruthi is of three types based on Manasika Gunas like Satwa Raja and Tamas. There are further subtypes for all three Manasika types of Prakruthi. Sara is based on the Dhathu constitution of the person since the birth and is of 7 types (Rasa, Raktha, Mamsa, Meda, Asthi, Majja, Shukra). The Prakruthi and Sara of a person never changes but can be masked by various factors like environmental, nutritional, altered living style etc.
