Who Wrote the First Ayurvedic Book on Child Health? Need This Info for My Research - #1369
m working on a thesis about ancient medical systems, and Ayurveda has been such a fascinating topic so far. I recently learned that there’s an early text focused specifically on paediatrics, but I’m struggling to find solid info about who wrote it and what the main principles are. 🤔 From what I’ve gathered, it might be related to Kaumarbhritya (is that right?), but I’m not sure if this is the oldest reference or if there’s something else. Does anyone know the author of the earliest Ayurvedic text dealing with children's health? I want to include accurate historical context, but most sources online are either vague or contradict each other. Any insights would be super helpful – even if it's just pointing me to a reliable book or author name. Thanks!
