and religion, one closely depending upon the other. It has its own concepts of composition of
the universe and body, physiology, pharmacology and pathology. It has its unique way of
diagnosing diseases and treating them. The physician is considered to be an epitome of
physical, mental and spiritual virtues. In the present work an effort has been made to give an
