Ayurveda dates back thousands of years. The first recorded texts on practice, known as "Vedas", describe the transfer of knowledge and wisdom from gods to wise men, then wise to doctors.
The Vedas detail preventive approaches to preventive care, as well as treatments, even highlighting surgical interventions such as nose surgery, kidney stones and stitches. The conditions that the Vedas detail with more than 700 Ayurvedic plants include dry skin, fever, diarrhea, tumors, convulsions, heart disease and beyond.
Ayurvedic medicine flourished until India began to experience political conflicts and invading countries, particularly the British empire. Many people have not been deterred by western influence and have continued to practice on the margins of society. When India gained independence from Britain in the mid-twentieth century, Ayurveda regained its place as a major and practical medical system that continues to thrive in India – practiced by more than 90 % of the country – and it is now recognized around the world.
