the Atharvaveda (c. 2nd millennium BCE). The period of Vedic medicine lasted until about 800 BCE. The Vedas are rich in magical
practices for the treatment of diseases and in charms for the expulsion of the demons traditionally supposed to cause diseases. The
chief diseases mentioned are fever (takman), cough, consumption, diarrhea, dropsy (generalized edema), abscesses, seizures,
tumours, and skin diseases including leprosy.
Numerous herbs are recommended for treatment in Ayurveda. The golden age of Indian medicine, from 800 BCE until about 1000
CE, was marked especially by the production of the medical treatises known as the Charaka-samhita and Sushrutasamhita, attributed
respectively to Charaka, a physician, and Sushruta, a surgeon. Estimates place the Charaka-samhita in its present form as dating from
the 1st century CE, although there were earlier versions. The Sushruta-samhita probably originated in the last centuries BCE and had
become fixed in its present form by the 7th century CE. Of somewhat lesser importance are the treatises attributed to Vagbhata. All
later writings on indian medicine were based on these works, which analyze the human body in terms of earth, water, fire, air, and
ether as well as the three bodily humours (vata, pitta, and kapha).
