Ayurveda is one of the oldest traditional systems of medicine that has survived and flourished from ages to date. Ayurveda is a knowledge system dealing with what is required to maintain health and cure diseases. The Ayurvedic view of the inherent freedom of pain and pleasure and the ultimate union of the individual soul with the universal soul is taken from Vedanta. Ayurveda, like Vedanta, is based upon the principle of self-knowledge and aims at self-realization, the constant knowledge of the One or Divine Self in all beings. Also, according to Vedanta, each of the gross elements develops by the combination of all the five primordial elements (tanmatras). Departing from Sankhya, Ayurveda accepts this concept of Vedanta. To attain self-realization Yoga and Vedanta philosophic thoughts had to be incorporated incidentally, into Ayurvedic literature. The 1st and 5th chapters of Sarira Sthana of Caraka Samhita contain several quotations indicating the necessity of application of Yoga and Vedanta too in health science in a broader perspective of the concept of health. Ayurveda has utilized almost every important concept of philosophic thoughts one way or the other in order to make itself a complete health science in the true spirit of the term.
