Ayurveda is one of the most ancient medical systems where the concept of specialisation originated be it in surgery, internal medicine or psychiatry; they all evolved in Ayurveda before anywhere else in the world. This system, also called the mother of medicine, focuses not only on eliminating the diseases but on providing a holistic cure of the patient, propounding his total well-being. It considers the human body as a miniature cosmos and attempts to create a balance between the forces outside and within the body.
