According to tradition, Brahma the Indian creator God, awoke to recreate the universe and received this knowledge of ayurveda through a divine revelation. He passed the knowledge on to Daksha Prajapati as a song and this was further passed down a chain of deities before finally reaching the first human, Bharadvaja. He taught ayurveda to a group of sages who in turn taught different aspects of this to their students. Early texts of ayurveda include Agnivesha, Charaka Samhita and Sushrut Samhita compiled around 1000 BCE. Sushrut Samhita has teachings and surgical techniques ranging in topics like obstetrics, orthopaedics and opthalmology. These texts are rooted in the philosophy of the Vedas which are now said to be the oldest sacred texts still used anywhere. Vedic texts are said to have all been “revealed” in that they were not composed by human beings. Scripts revealing ayurvedic knowledge were initially written on perishable materials and then later written on stone and copper sheets.
Although many in Hinduism adopted western medicine during the times of European rule, ayurveda was always considered the science of life. It reemerged in the 70s and hospitals, doctors, practitioners and ayurvedic herbal remedies are now widely available throughout India. The science of ayurveda is now being introduced through one of its most powerful fruits, amalaki found in Zrii juice. Amalaki is perhaps the most important plant to introduce to the world in the form of Zrii juice because it is helpful in combating conditions that span the eight branches of ayurveda. The eight branches of ayurveda are 1)internal medicine, 2) surgery, 3) ears, eyes, nose and throat, 4) pediatrics, 5) toxicology 6) purification of the genetic organs 7) health and longevity 8) spiritual healing and psychiatry. The science of life is applied in all these forms to improve and treat all aspects of the whole being.
