The Carakasaṃhitā is one of the oldest textbooks of Ayurveda. It has been preserved for over a period of more than 1500 years. This text was also edited, reconstructed, and expanded in the process.
The source of this text is the Agniveśatantra, which is based on the teachings of Ātreya, the founder of the school of medicine in Ayurveda.
Around the 2nd century BCE, Caraka is said to have extensively edited the work of Agniveśa. He made substantial revisions to the original text, so it came to be known as the Carakasaṃhitā.
