A science dating back to time immemorial and yet falls prey to ignorance!
It’s indeed ironical to see that in an era where medicine is touching new heights everyday; very few people are aware about the scope of Ayurveda.
Most of us consider this to be a health system where physicians pound herbs and administer them to the patients. However, Ayurveda is much beyond this and can be divided into 8 main branches, which are:
1) KAYACHIKITSA (General Medicine)
2) KAUMARABHRITYA (Pediatrics)
3) GRAHA CHIKITSA (Demenology)
4) SHALAKYA TANTRA (ENT and Ophthalmology)
5) SHALYA TANTRA (Surgery)
6) AGADA TANTRA (Toxicology and Forensic Medicine)
7) RASAYANA (Geriatrics and Rejuvenation)
8) VAJIKARANA (Aphrodisiac Therapy)
Hope this little piece of information was helpful in opening your minds and making this science more acceptable to you.

Nice eye opener for the general public.
Educating common man regarding the scope of Ayurveda is the need of the hour. This is commendable work. Please carry on.
Ayurveda is very relevant to the modern times ! It’s a sorry state of affairs that people know of Only allopathy these days !
