– Start with the beginning. Sum up the Vedas. How did this practice form? Where did it originate? When did it start?

 

February 13                                        History of Ayurveda Medicine

– Monitor it throughout history. From 500-1500. What was happening to it? Was it changing? Who was visiting the countries practicing it? Was it spreading?
