Ayurveda (आयुर्वेद “the knowledge for long life”) or ayurvedic medicine is Indian system of traditional medicine. The earliest literature on Indian medical practice appeared during the Vedic period in India. Though it originated thousands of years ago, Ayurveda could be more appropriate for present-day society, where so many people suffer from stress-related conditions which conventional medicine has been unable to cure. Ayurveda logical, commonsense approach to health and living is combined with philosophy, psychology and spiritual guidance.

By going through the ancient ayurvedic works it is possible to consider 3 schools of Ayurveda which prevailed in ancient times, viz a) Athreya sampradaya (school of medicine) ,b) Dhanwantari or Sushruta sampradaya (school of surgery),and c) Kashyapa sampradaya (school of paediatrics and obstetrics).

As mentioned earlier, Lord Brahma the propounder of Ayurveda imparted this science to Prajapati who in turn taught the same to Ashwins, the celestial twin physicians, they in turn taught Ayurveda to Indra. Up to this stage the lineage is common to all the 3 schools of Ayurveda. Thereafter, according to Athreya school sage Bharadwaja learns Ayurveda from Indra and imparts to sage Athreya who in turn teaches his disciples viz Agnivesh, Bhela, Hareeta, Jatukarna, Parashara, Ksharapani and others who wrote their individual treatises on Internal Medicine.

In case of Dhanwantari school, Dhanwantari or Divodasa learn Ayurveda from Indra and taught the same to his students viz, Sushruta, Aupadhenava, Vaitarana, Aurabhra, Paushkalavata, Karaveerya, Gopurarakshita, Bhoja and others who later wrote their individual treatises on Surgery. In case of Kashyapa school, sage Kashyapa, Vasista, Atri, Bhrugu, their sons and disciples learnt Ayurveda from Indra and wrote their treaties on Kaumarabhrithya/(Pediatrics & Obstetrics).

Ayurveda is also called Astagaayurveda, with 8 divisions, viz, 1) Kaya (study and management of disorders related to digestion and metabolism), 2) Kaumarabhrithya (Pediatrics & Obstetrics) 3) Bhootavidya (study and management of disorders arising from super human influences like constellation changes, evil spirits, etc) 4) Shalakya (study and management of ENT and Eye diseases), 5) Shalya chikitsa (Surgery), 6) Agad Tantra (Toxicology including study and management of sting/bites, etc) 7) Rasayanatantra (Rejuvenation therapy/ Geriatrics& Gerontology) and 8) Vajeekaranatantra (study and management of disorders relating to reproduction and is related to promotion of virility).
