Shalya Tantra

Shalya Tantra is a branch of Ayurveda that specifically deals with surgical techniques and procedures. It focuses on the treatment of various diseases and conditions through surgical interventions. Shalya Tantra includes knowledge about surgical instruments, procedures for incisions, suturing techniques, and post-operative care. In ancient times, Shalya Tantra practitioners were highly skilled surgeons who used their knowledge to treat injuries, fractures, tumors, and other ailments that required surgical intervention. Today, while modern medicine has evolved significantly, Ayurvedic principles and practices, including those of Shalya Tantra, continue to influence certain traditional medical treatments and therapies.
