Ayurveda, the oldest system of medicine in the world, traces its roots to the Vedic period in ancient India (1500 BC). The Rig Veda, a compilation of verse on the nature of existence, is the oldest surviving book of any Indo-European language (1500 BC). The Rig Veda refers to the cosmology known as Sankhya which lies at the base of both Ayurveda and Yoga; in it are verses on the nature of health and disease, pathogenesis and principles of treatment. The Atreya Samhita is the oldest medical book in the world; it survives from Takashila University which was operating as early as 800 BC The Atharva Veda (800 BC) lists the Eight Divisions of Ayurveda: Internal Medicine, Surgery of Head and Neck, Opthamology and Otorinolaryngology, Surgery, Toxicology, Psychiatry, Paediatrics, Gerontology or Science of Rejuvenation, and the Science of Fertility. At 500 BC at the university at Benares, Sushruta, a surgeon who developed the operative techniques of rhinoplasty (plastic surgery), wrote the Sushruta Samhita which describes a highly developed surgery. In l00 AD, the physician Charaka revised and supplemented the Atreya Samhita; the Charaka Samhita is a major work on internal medicine.
