Abstract

According to Hindu mythology, Lord Dhanwantari was created with Nectar during sea churning means Samudra Manthan. He is regarded as the ruler of medicine. Following that, Ashwani Kumar, Lord Sun’s son, was regarded as a medical science conservative. In the reference of different Sanskrit Literature and in Ramcharitra Manash Sri Tulish das’s described about formation of human body. He used five essential ingredients to describe the creation of the human body. According to various beliefs, the human body is composed of five fundamental elements: Earth (Soil), Water (Jaal), Fire (Agni), Sky (Aakash), and Air (Vayu or Oxygen). But, in the meanwhile, humans are not immortal.
Throughout history, great individuals have perished as a result of disease. This therapeutic procedure for the human body was created to address this issue. Some notable names in Indian history are regarded milestones in the origination and growth of Ayurveda, such as Sushruta, Agnivesha, Punarvasu, Charka, and Dridbalbha, which indicates how competent we were in medical surgery and physic-logical therapy during that period. It is regarded as the essence of Ayurveda, which is still practiced in modern culture. As time passed, the priority of social welfare shifted to economic relevance. Finally, its spirit permeated over the entire planet.
A remark regarding the sensation of healing came to mind: “The imagination of a healthy body gives rise to a sense of healing”; this sense of healing leads to a notion of therapeutic knowledge. As a result, medical science was created. Medicine was required at various times throughout history. Our forefathers employed several sorts of therapy throughout the pre-Vedic era.
