Ashtanga Hridayam

Ashtanga Hridayam is an ancient Indian text on Ayurveda, compiled by the sage Vagbhata in the 6th century. It serves as a comprehensive guide to health, medicine, and lifestyle, combining elements of yoga, herbs, and dietary principles. The text is divided into sections that cover topics such as the nature of diseases, their treatments, and the importance of maintaining balance in body and mind. Ashtanga Hridayam emphasizes the holistic approach to health, integrating physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, making it a foundational resource for both practitioners and students of Ayurveda.
