What is Ashtanga Ayurveda?
As recorded in the ancient foundational compendiums—the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya (together venerated as the Brihat Trayi or Great Triad)—Ayurveda was rigorously systemized into eight clinical limbs (Ashtanga, from Sanskrit Ashta = Eight, Anga = Limbs). Each branch focuses on precise diagnostic criteria, individualized herbal pharmacopeia, and targeted bio-cleansing procedures.
