Charaka Samhita
Encyclopedia : C : CH : CHA : Charaka Samhita
The Charaka Samhitā is one of the early ancient texts of Ayurveda. Ayurveda was first described by Agnivesha#redirect (believed to have lived beween 2BCE and 2CE) in his book Agnivesh tantra, which was later revised by Charaka. As a result the book is now known as the Charaka Samhitā. A Kashmiri Pandit Shri Dridhabal is believed to have re-edited and re-constructed the Charaka Samhitā in the 9th century.#redirect
