Charaka - Ayurveda's First Organiser
The North Indian writer and philosopher Charaka was the writer of the first detailed treatise on ayurveda. This treatise is still in print and is still considered to prescribe the organising principles of ayurveda today. All ayurvedic doctors read and study Charaka and in many respects his work has not been superseded by later ayurvedic theorists.
