Kashyap Samhita

Kashyap Samhita

Kashyap Samhitā (Sanskrit: कश्यप संहिता), also known as Braddha Jivakiya Tantra, is an important treatise on Ayurveda medicine written in ancient India by the sage Kashyap, since it is suffixed as a Samhita which means means "Compilation of Knowledge", he was probably one of the first compilers of the ancient knowledge.

Today, Kashyap Samhita is considered, a classical reference book on Ayurveda especially in the fields of Ayuvedic pediatrics, gynecology and obstetrics. It is also part of the Ayurveda teaching syllabus especially in Kaumarbhrityal Balroga (Pediatrics).
