The Charaka Samhita is one among many primal texts of Ayurveda, the medical sciences of ancient India. The major sage Charaka, who lived around the 1st century CE, is credited with its authorship and compilation. This text offers a thorough exposition on health and its maintenance, prevention of disease, diagnosis, and treatment. The text in Sanskrit is set in a conversational style consisting of a continuous dialogue between the teacher and students. With a wholistic view of maintaining a delicate balance of body, mind, and spirit through diet, life habits, herbal remedies, and ethical living, the Charaka Samhita inspects areas such as anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and doctor-patient relationships, which reflect the wisdom still flowing into mainstream traditional medicine and holistic health practices throughout the globe and thus represent a timeless contribution to medical science and well-being.
