sanskrit

[Source of Ayurveda] Out of the four veda – The Rigveda, Yajurvedas, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda. The physicians owe their loyalty to the Atharva Veda because this deals with the treatment of diseases by resorting to various practices like sacrifices, prayers, and chants, charity, moral discipline, the atonement of sins, austere practices like fasts, etc. These are advocated for treatment as well as for living a healthy, long life.
