Ayurveda ResourcesTraditional Āyurveda speaks of eight branches: kāyāchikitsā (internal medicine), shalyachikitsā (surgery including anatomy), shālākyachikitsā (eye, ear, nose, and throat diseases), kaumārabhritya (pediatrics, gynecology & obstetrics.), bhūtavidyā (psychology). The basic motive of Āyurveda is to keep the healthy person healthy and to cure the ill.Āyurvedic physicians were traditionally supported by their patients and the communities they worked in, with a minority gaining royal patronage. Under the centralized governmental systems established by the Mughals and subsequent British rule in India, many Āyurvedic physicians were paid small stipends by the state. But when the British government in India began to establish hospitals and organized state-wide healthcare institutions (which lead eventually to the Indian Medical Service), Āyurveda was not included. In the early 20th century, Āyurvedic physicians began to organize into professional associations and to promote their case for national recognition and funding. This began to become a reality after Indian independence in 1947. Today, Kerala is the state in India that promotes research and practices Āyurveda the most. There are many famous Āyurvedic centers (Vaidya shala) all over Kerala.
