Topic: Ancient medical system.

India has a glorious history with technology. Sushruta was the inventor of surgery and complicated operations of body. He introduced cadtaract surgery, nose, ears, bladder, eyes, heart..
Sushruta samhita documented 1,100 diseases & 100 medicinal..

..benefits for the body. It also details reconstruction of nose. The nose surgery specified in samhita is a little different then today's medical science. Sushruta, before inventing the surgery methods, studies the flow of air through nose and internal organs.

Sushruta's techniques spread like wildfire, not just in Bharat but also in middle east and later to Europe.

Cartrac surgery by him was performed by Jabamukhi Salaka. This tool has a curved needle which carefully peels out the cartrac. To reduce the pain, eye is soaked with

Warm water, butter and if needed some aushdhis then cover the eye with bandage.

The technique of removing stones from kidney is written down in detail

Medicine and surgery in india is recorded since vedic times and is mentioned in ramayana and Mahabharat as well

Ayurveda plays a great role to support this advanced chikitsa. If you look in another perspective, yoga too helps ayurveda. Ayurveda and other techniques is done when there is a disease but yoga is done for constant physical and mental wellness.

In chikitsa Sthnam brahmi rasayan is helpful in increasing memory and intelligence and reduces chances of getting diseases brain can recieve. It also maintains youthfulness & gives an increase in lifespan. There is nothing magic in it just purely medicine.

Sushruta also details that Siras are vessels which sits in Nabhi and spreads all over the body in upward and downward motion. There are 40 principal Siras. 10 of them are carrying Vayu, 10 are carrying Pitta, 10 for Kapha and 10 for vatta

Vayu Siras functions of expansion, contraction, speech. It also purifies brain and sensory organs flowing in veins. Diseases occur with an imbalance of VAYU.

Skipping other Siras, we reach to the blood carrying Siras. This sira is responsible in maintaining health of body and keeping diseases away.

Sushruta pointed out that blood leakage can be stopped by stitching the wound by cautiously using Aushadhi and heat. He has detailed muscles, bones, structure of brain, flesh, joints and internal organs.

For anesthesia, sushruta advised using incense of Cannabis to temporary reduce the power of sensory organs which transfer information regarding pain. In the above picture (3rd one) sushruta classifies the bones and annotates and explain joints in the body.
