DEPARTMENT OF SALYATANTRA

HISTORY

             Salyathantra is the first and most important branch among 8 angas of Ayurveda. It is derived from the root salu or Swalu, asugamane which highlights it’s development as a war medicine or critical care. The author of Susrutha samhitha ,the “ veda”  of salyathantra is considered as the father of surgery . He was the first person introduced the branch plastic surgery.

SPORTS MEDICINE CLINIC

                 The present scenario of sports medicine is completely and officially commanded by the    modern medicine. Traditional systems of medicine are not involved officially in the area of sports medcine. The potentialities of Ayurveda and other alternative medical systems in this area are not well recognised by the sports world due to lack of awareness. But we should remember that we have a rich tradition of sports medicine. This is a live tradition and will be able to contribute much to the betterment of the health status of sportsmen.Effective healing and rehabilitation methods for sports injuirs are available in traditional wisdom. More over there are measures to increase the stamina, strength, flexibility and endurence of sportsmen.
