Ayurveda Founder - #3685

I’ve recently started exploring Ayurveda because I’m interested in natural healing methods for my chronic issues like digestion problems and fatigue. While learning about it, I couldn’t help but wonder who came up with this incredible system. Who is considered the Ayurveda founder? I know it’s an ancient science, but there must be someone who originally structured or documented it, right? I read somewhere that Ayurveda dates back thousands of years, but the origins seem a bit confusing. Some sources mention sages or ancient texts, while others talk about mythological figures. Did the Ayurveda founder actually live in a historical time, or is it more of a symbolic attribution? Understanding this could help me connect better with the practice and its philosophy. I’ve also heard about the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita being foundational texts. Are these works tied to the Ayurveda founder, or were they written by different scholars who expanded on the original ideas? It would be helpful to know how these early contributors shaped Ayurveda into what it is today. One more thing I’m curious about is how the Ayurveda founder approached health. Did they develop the idea of balancing the doshas right from the beginning, or was that added over time by later practitioners? For someone like me, who is trying to balance pitta and vata, it’s fascinating to think about how these principles were discovered and why they’ve lasted for so long. Lastly, I wonder how much of the Ayurveda founder’s teachings are still relevant in today’s world. Modern medicine has advanced so much, yet people keep turning back to Ayurveda for solutions. Was the founder’s work truly ahead of its time, or is it more about the spiritual and holistic perspective that modern science sometimes misses?
