This article brings several serious questions to the validity, In part:
"in part:
"Proponents state that ayurvedic medicine originated in ancient time,
but much of it was lost until reconstituted in the early 1980s by the
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Its origin is traced to four Sanskrit books
called the Vedas-the oldest and most important scriptures of India,
shaped sometime before 200 B.C.E. These books attributed most disease
and bad luck to demons, devils, and the influence of stars and
planets. Ayurveda's basic theory states that the body's functions are
regulated by three "irreducible physiological principles" called
doshas, whose Sanskrit names are vata, pitta, and kapha. Like
astrologic "signs," these terms are used to designate body types as
well as the traits that typify them.
Like astrologic writings, ayurvedic writings contain long lists of
supposed physical and mental characteristics of each constitutional
type."

| The remark made by the ayurveda@qyackwatch.com was unfortunate, that
saying the ayurvedic medicine wa reconstituted by Maharshi Mahesh
Yogi. Absolutely it is baseless. The main classical books writen are
Charka Samhita, Susruta Samhita and Ashtanga Hridaya called
Brihathrayees in India. These classical texts were taught by masters
to their deciples from the ancient time. If you want to know more
about the details please make a visit to Kerala traditional families
like Ashtavaidyas or visit The Arya Vaidya Pharmacy (Coimbatore) Ltd
group institutions. There are several colleges in India that started
even 100 years before using these classical books. One of my best
friend who was working with Sri. Mahesh Yogi for long time was forced
leave him as he was advised to make the same propoganda. He was not
ready to accept this as he got the same from the traditional education
from Kerala and accademic education from Coimabtore.
None of teh classical books wrtien by Sri Mahesh Yogi available in the
market.
