About the Book

Ayurvediya Rasasastra is not just a medical science but it is specific science which advocates Naisthiki cikitsa. In other words it cures the diseases permanantly, Rasagistra gives immediate MoIcia (Relief from disease). Originator of this science is 'Adinath' Lord Sankara himself. This Rasagastra was originally composed in axioms and it advocated Dehavada. Afterwards sages like Nagarjuna etc. developed & ornamented it with Lohavada and used in the treatment of diseases. After many centuries with effect of time, Dhatuvada & Dehavada both were extinguished.
