Abstract

India has a history of ancient medical science, which has been practiced for centuries. Practitioners around the world applied the same the fundamentals but had different perspectives. Some of these perspectives have been lined up in order to convey practitioners' experiences and recent discoveries. These can be found in several manuscripts from various parts of the world. India has a unique culture, language, and knowledge dating back to ancient times. Along with this, regional geographical variance throughout India results in a variety of scripts and languages. Every 50-100 kilometers, we notice dialects in the languages. The language we speak now evolved from ancient languages. The units represented by visual symbols in written form are referred to as script. To comprehend the content written in ancient manuscripts, one requires knowledge of the script and language.
