Origin of Ayurved • Daivic : Bramha has created the world. He also created the Ayurved in his Bramhasamhita. • Laukik: Rishis gathered at foothills of Himalaya and discussed the essence of treatments on different diseases and disorders. The Responsibility of compilation of data was given to Bhardwaj. He has compiled the data based on experiences and given to his most popular student Atreya. • Atreyas Students Agnivesh, Bhel, Jatukarn, Parashar, Harit and Ksharpani have created their own Samhitas.
Different Samhitashave different origins of Ayurved, however, it is observed that, Ayurved has not been created by any author, Rishi or God. It is the compilation of knowledge and experiences acquired by generations after generation. • Our forefathers have learned this practice from their surroundings and from Animals. They learned Vomiting from Cats and Dogs and Enema from Birds.
