Common Ayurvedic Surgery Questions or FAQs & Answer

Does Ayurveda believe in surgery?

Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine from India, generally prioritizes non-invasive treatments such as herbal remedies, diet and lifestyle changes, and massage therapy over surgery.

  • However, some Ayurvedic texts do mention surgical procedures and the use of surgical instruments.
  • In modern times, Ayurvedic practitioners may refer patients to surgeons when necessary.
  • There are two branches of surgery in Ayurveda — Shalya Tantra, which refers to general surgery, and Shalakya Tantra which pertains to surgeries related to the eyes, ears, nose, throat, and teeth.
