Abstract

Healing is a matter of time. But it is sometime also a matter of opportunity. (Hippocrates)
The ancient Indian Medical Science can he traced back to vedic period. The Vedas are considered to the first record of the ancient knowledge and civilization in the world. The Sushrut Samhita is a sanskrit text that covers areas of both surgery and medicine. This compendium is also considered to be one of the main foundation of Ayurveda.
Ayurveda later developed as a separate system of medical knowledge and has been given the status of Upveda. The fifth veda in the next stage of its growth. The maximum description of medical science is included in the Atharveda. The penultimate source of Ayurveda.
Sushrut Samhita is said to be the most comprehensive text written on surgical practice. Modern surgery is also said to be developed from the basics provided by Sushrut. The fact that sushrut made the beginning of every aspect of surgery. documented the techniques covering all minute details of Shalya Tantra in an era which lacked scientific advancement and technical help with almost no facilities available, makes us bow down our head with respect and reverence to this great saint, teacher of Ayurved and doctor.
