Ayurveda: the Traditional Indian Medicine System and its Global Dissemination
by D. P. Agrawal & Lalit Tiwari

Through Buddhist monks the Ayurveda spread to Tibet and China. So many Chinese scholars visited India and even studied in the ancient Indian universities.

After Alexander's invasion, the contacts with the Greek and Persian worlds got intensified. In medieval times, during the period of the Arab Caliphs, the Arab world became a hub of international science and medicine.

Ayurveda is the oldest Indian indigenous medicine system, probably with its roots in the Indus Civilisation. In the Vedic period, the Osadhisukta of the Rigveda is the oldest documented knowledge about plants and herbal medicines.

The term Ayus means duration or span of life, veda means unimpeachable knowledge. The common translation of the Ayurveda is 'science of life'. In his book Kris Morgan says that literally Ayurveda means 'science of longevity', but because of its divine origin, it is also called the 'medicine of the God'. Tradition says that Brahma (the creator) was the divine source of this science, which was brought into existence before the creation of mankind. The knowledge was passed from him to the god Daksapati, then to the two celestial physicians (the twin Asvina Kumaras), later to Indra the god king, and finally to Bharadvaja, the semi-divine sage. Such traditions need not be taken literally but they only indicate the great antiquity of Ayurveda.

Literary Evidence

The earliest-recorded knowledge about Ayurveda is found in the Rigveda and the Atharvaveda, both of the second millennium BC. The Atreya Samhita is perhaps the oldest medical book in the world; it survives from Taksashila University, going back to the mid-I Millennium BC.

At about 500 BC in the University of Banaras, Susruta, a surgeon, who developed the operative techniques of rhinoplasty (plastic surgery)

Ayurvedic Concept of Ideal Health

According to the philosophical concepts on which Ayurveda is based, all bodies – material, living, conscious and unconscious - are evolved out of Prakrti (the ultimate ground) by the subtle influence of the Purusa, the absolute or the primal self conscious principle and every component of the human organism is created out of the tattvas (fundamental compounds) as evolved out of the Prakrti. When all the eleven indriyas (mind, the five sense organs and the five organs of motion and action), the three dosas (the air, radiant energy and water), the agni (digestive fire), the malas (excretions), the kriyas (like sleep, elimination, respiratory, etc.) and the seven dhatus (elementary stuff) are in normal state and in equilibrium then the health is in an ideal state. The main aims of Ayurveda include maintenance of this equilibrium, and its repair in case of any imbalance and derangement. Ayurveda attempts this process by the application of all spiritual and material resources available to man.

Influence of Ayurveda on East and West

By 400 AD, Ayurvedic works were translated into Chinese; by 700 AD, Chinese scholars were studying medicine in India at Nalanda University. Indian thought, as well as influencing Chinese spirituality and philosophy through Buddhism, greatly influenced Chinese medicine and herbology through Ayurveda. In 800 AD, Ayurvedic works were translated into Arabic. In 16th century Europe, Paracelsus, who is known as the father of modern Western medicine, practiced and propagated a system of medicine, which borrowed heavily from Ayurveda. In the following discussion, we would take a global view of Ayurveda.

India was in contact with China even during the Kushana times. Bahlika was an important centre where traders from China, India and West Asia met and exchanged ideas and goods. During the Gupta period the links between India and China were firmly established. Chinese scholars like Fahiyan, Ywan Chwang, and Itsing were great cultural ambassadors between the two countries. The University of Nalanda, established during the reign of Kumaragupta, attracted a large number of scholars and students from China. Several Ayurvedic texts were translated into Chinese (Sharma 1992).

The Bower Manuscript (mss), which is named after its discoverer, Lieutenant H. Bower, was found in 1890, in Kuchar, in Eastern Turkestan, on the great caravan route of China.

The names of several Indian products such as Indian sword, Indian spices and aloes-wood are often found even in pre-Islamic poetry. Names of the Indian drugs, like Kafur (Karpüra), Misk (Muska), Zanjabil (Srhgavera) and ud (Aguru) etc. occur even in the holy Qur'an and Prophet's traditions (Ahadith-i-Nabawi). Probably the Arabic words like Faniz, Tütia, Narjil, Bish and Sandal have probably been derived from Sanskrit language. Varma (1992) in his detailed article, "Indo-Arab Relations In Medical Sciences", gives several well-documented instances of such contacts.

Abu Sa'id, a companion of the Prophet, has related that an Indian Raja had sent an earthen jar containing dried ginger (Zanjabil) to the Prophet and he distributed it among all his companions to eat and that he also got a piece.

The Prophet used to burn Aloes-wood ('Ud-Hindi) with camphor. Said the Prophet, 'In Aloes-wood, there are seven remedies'. As a snuff, it is good for the disease called al-Ghudrah. It is also efficacious for cases of pleurisy."

Several Indian tribes like Jats (Zutt) had settled down in Arabia even before the beginning of Islam and they were well-versed in different branches of ancient Indian traditional medicine. Many if them, such as Tantric medicine, and were using their clinical proficiency to cure the patients. Even some of the Indians are also said to have been in the company of the Prophet. The beloved wife of the Prophet was cured by an Indian Jat physician of Medina.
It is also recorded that Harith bin Kalada, the trusted Hakim of the Prophet, studied in the medical school of Jundishapur (in Khuzistan, in South-West Iran) where Indian vaidyas and philosophers also taught sciences including medicine. At the end of his studies and before returning to Mecca, Harith travelled through India in search of more information about different branches of Indian Medicine. It is also mentioned that an Indian physician, Birzantin Hindi had migrated to Yemen and settled there presumably during Anusherwan's reign (530-580 AD). He had a fair knowledge of Indian Medicine and specialized in treating different diseases by administering Indian herbs particularly hemp (Cannabis indica Linn). He is responsible for introducing Indian hemp for curing various ailments and got the name and fame due to new mode of treatment in that area.

Zubayr (1960) says that a Chinese monarch sent a gift in the form of a book to the first Ummayyad Caliph (660-680 AD). The book contained some secrets and wisdom regarding Indian medicine, alchemy and astronomy.

Once Harun al-Rashid was afflicted with a serious disease and could not be cured by his own physicians, so he sent for Manaka (Mankhaor Minikya) with precious gifts. He came to Baghdad and cured the Royal patient and the caliph granted him handsome pension and bestowed upon him great wealth.

Manaka was proficient in Ayurveda and other Indian sciences and had a sound knowledge of Indian and Persian languages. He was deputed as Chief of the Royal Hospital at Baghdad and translated several books from Sanskrit into Persian or Arabic language.

Saleh bin Behla was another competent practitioner of Ayurveda, though he does not seem to have any official position. He is known to have cured Ibrahim bin Saleh of apoplexy, though he was declared dead by the Caliph's own physicians. After the advice of Säleh, the royal patient was removed out of his coffin, bathed and put in his usual dress. Then the Indian vaidya ordered to bring a blowing pipe and blew some snuff prepared of Kundush (Verartilum album) with the instrument into his nose. After about ten minutes, all of a sudden, his body quivered and he sneezed, sat in front of the caliph and kissed his hands. The caliph was much impressed by the clinical acumen of Indian doctor and rewarded him handsomely.

The Arab scholars were also acquainted with some other Indian vaidyas and masters of other allied sciences. These are:

I. Kanka (Ganga) was one of the most learned Indian scientists who also knew the healing art and drug sciences. According to some Arab writers, Kanka was accepted by all the Indian savants to be the greatest authority in astronomy in ancient India. He was probably the author of the following books: (a) Kitab-ul Namudar fil-'Amar (The book of horoscopes of lives); (b) Kitab-ul Asrãri'l Mawalid (The book of the secrets of births): (c) Kitab-ul Qiranat (The book of conjuctions); Kabir wa Saghir (Major and Minor); (d) Kitab fi 'llm-ul-Tibb (The book on medical science); (e) Kitab fi'lm- Tawahhum (The book on mania); and (f) Kitab fi'l Ahdathi'Alamii fi l'Qirdn (The book on the incidents that may happen in the world under certain conjunctions of stars).

II. Sanjhal was the most learned man of India who wrote a book on nativity entitled, Kitab-ul-Mawalid (book of nativities).

III. Shanaq (Cãnakya) was one of the ablest vaidyas of India. He had versatile knowledge of various branches of science and philosophy. He excelled in astronomy and occupied a high position in the courts of Indian kings of his time. Varma thinks that Shanaq al-Hindi is to be identified as Canakya, Candragupta's minister, also called Kautilya. It is known to have been translated into Persian from an Indian language by Manaka. Then, it was rendered into Arabic from the Persian by Abu I (9th cent. AD). Shanaq was known to be author of the Fihrist, Ibn al-Nadim, and also of other books on the conduct of life, the management of war, and on cultural studies. His works mentioned by Ibn abi Usaibi'ya are on the stars, lapidary crafts, and one on veterinary medicine.

In addition to references to Shanaq, abstracts from other Indian books on poisons were borrowed and assimilated by Ibn Wahashiya (9th cent. AD) in his Arabic text, entitled Kitab ul-Sumüm wa'l-Tiryaqat (book of poisons and their antidotes). Reference was also made to two Indian experts on the subject, Tammashah and Bahlindad and their medical treatises, in his Arabic work. Another Indian vaidya, called Bal, Nai or Tai, depending on the missing dots, is mentioned in the medical literature, but his treatise is not extant now-a-days.
