Acharya Sushruta -the master of surgery and author of Sushruta Samhita in ayurveda


Ayurveda (Sanskrit: आयुर्वेद; ayurvedic medicine is a Hindu system of traditional medicine native to India and a form of alternative medicine. The Suśruta Saṃhitā and the Charaka Saṃhitā, encyclopedias of medicine compiled from various sources from the mid-first millennium BCE to about 500 C.are among the foundational works of Ayurveda. Over the following centuries, ayurvedic practitioners developed a number of medicinal preparations and surgical procedures for the treatment of various ailments.

Shalya Tantra’ a book of surgical procedures prescribed by Sushruta and later re-cast as ‘Sushruta Samhita’ is an unparalleled work of the medical science of ancient India, popular as Ayurveda. The author of this Sanskrit text of amazing surgical procedures of accuracy and curative efficacy is known as Sushruta. Parts of this great work had been revised or reworked during later periods. And therefore, experts consider this samhita as the collective contribution of a chain of medical practitioners of ancient India. There is no wonder that this classic work has become an essential part of the culture of India.

 The Sushruta Samhita contains 184 chapters and description of 1120 illnesses, 700 medicinal plants, a detailed study on Anatomy, 64 preparations from mineral sources and 57 preparations based on animal sources.

He describes eight different operations for surgery, like cutting, opening, scratching, piercing, inserting etc, and finally stitching up. He was both a practitioner and a teacher of surgery. His contribution to the ancient cultural heritage of India invaluable.

  1. I'm 55-year-old from Korean, I was diagnosed with second-stage liver cancer following a scheduled examination to monitor liver cirrhosis. I had lost a lot of weight. A CT scan revealed three tumors; one in the center of my liver in damaged tissue and two in healthy portions of my liver. No chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment was prescribed due to my age, the number of liver tumors. One month following my diagnosis I began taking 12 (350 point) Salvestrol supplements per day, commensurate with my body weight. This comprised six Salvestrol Shield (350 point) capsules and six Salvestrol Gold (350 point) capsules, spread through the day by taking two of each capsule after each main meal. This level of Salvestrol supplementation (4,000 points per day) was maintained for four months. In addition, I began a program of breathing exercises, chi exercises, meditation, stretching and stress avoidance.
