Charaka has explained many procedures like panchakarma, rasayana, sadvrtha etc, which undoubtedly transform the genes to behave beneficially.
Charaka Club was one such formed with select gathering in November 1898 and was simply known as medico-historico-social club that discussed a range of subjects involving fields like medical, medical history, literature and poetry even.

Its emphasis on treating the physiology of the body and suggestions for therapeutic use of metals and minerals means the perspective of the treatise represents the gross, material value of life more than its counterparts Charaka and Sushruta.
While Charaka has entire chapters dealing with the Self, these works merely mention that the body is the home for the Self without any elaboration.
This field is self-aware; it is the Knower as well as the object of perception, and for Charaka this is part of what is to be treated by the physician.

Charaka lists the eight factors which help its emergence which are: 'perception of the cause, perception of the form, similarity, contrast, predominance of sattwa, practice, constant thinking and repeated hearing.
Charaka advises 'non initiation of action' which can parallel the yogic approach to asanas meaning still steady posture.
Charaka advises 'concentration of mind and body' which parallels the 6th branch of dharana - concentration non wandering of the mind but maintaining the citta - mind/thought in one place.

 India’s Medical Legacy:  Speech by  Dr. M.S. Valiathan
Charaka mentioned the medical and surgical approaches to the treatment of piles only to recommend the medical alternative in view of the complications of surgical measures.
Charaka stipulated, and applied in practice, physico-chemical properties such as heaviness and lightness which were not mentioned in Vaiseshika.
As the concepts of a healthful diet and life style, herbal therapy and techniques such as panchakarma from the Ayurvedic tradition take on new forms in the practice and formularly of modern medicine we may be witnessing the most far reaching contribution that Ayurveda would make to the progress of medicine in the world.

Ayurvedic knowledge of the body is supported further by anatomical lists of structures detailed by both Charaka and in Sarngadharas Compendium.
Ayurveda is most commonly believed to have its origins within the Atharvaveda, (a text with a clear health focus), or as Dasgupta explains some call it a fifth Veda, associated with, but distinct from, the Atharvaveda (see Dasgupta (1969) ch.13 for a summary of proposed theories).
Treatment would depend on the doshic constitution but would according to Charaka involve the use of light digestives at the onset of jvara, followed by some of the following: extracts, massage, unction, purgation, enema, pacificatory measures, fumigation, milk and ghee.

 Rasayana: The key to Rejuvenation
The Charaka Samhita, a detailed treatise on Ayurveda-the ancient system of medicine, elucidates the traditional story about the origin of Ayurveda.
Divided into eight sections, the treatise not only imparts knowledge about Ayurveda in its totality, but also explains the logic and philosophy on which this system of medicine is based.
To practice Ayurvedic medicine in ancient India, seven years of intense, disciplined studies in eight different branches of Ayurveda were required.

 Ayurveda—Theory and Practice
Charaka, Sushruta, Vagbhata, Madhava Nidhan are the well-known scientific books on Indian Medicine.
Charaka Samhita is generally believed to be the oldest work on Hindu medicine.
The old Sanskrit and Pali texts give details of various diseases and their remedies—dysentery, jaundice, diabetes, tuberculosis, heart-diseases, etc. They declare that surgery had reached a great degree of skill; and that difficult skull, brain and abdominal operations were successfully performed.

 Basics of Ayurvedic Physiology
The basics of Ayurvedic medicine (traditional Indian medicine) are set down in a few ancient texts, of which the Charaka Samhita is the principal resource.
The contents of the Charaka Samhita have been explained and expanded upon in the Ayurvedic body of literature in much the same way that the well-known Chinese texts have been analyzed and broadened in China.
The information for this article is derived from my understanding and interpretation of that provided in several of the secondary sources, which are sometimes contradictory or utilize markedly different explanations.

All these facts indicate that Charaka was either himself a Shaka or very close to them so that he had to struggle hard for putting his foot down.
Asvaghosha, the poet laureate attached to Kaniska has not mentioned the name of Charaka though he has said Atreya as the pro founder of the School of Medicine.
Was Charaka an individual or a traditional group?

 MEDICINE, QUACKERY AND LAW
Saint Charaka also mentioned that sometimes quacks do succeed in their sham treatment; the patient gets better and recovers his health but the cure has been effected by natural course of the disease, the Nature's care itself and the healthy procedures which the patient follows.
He must be severely punished, heavily fined.These Pseudo-Physicians have their eyes on fees.They are greedy and exploit gullible folk.Saint Charaka continues like this.
The usual disabilities, restrictions of caste and status do not apply to the doctor because what he does, no one else in the society can do.

 Ayurveda
The works of Charaka, Sushruta, and the Elder Vagbhata are considered canonical and reverentially called the Vriddha Trayi, "the triad of ancients." Later, Vāgbhata the Younger wrote the Ashtānga Hridaya Samhitā which is a lucid presentation of the Āyurveda giving due place to the surgical techniques of Sushruta.
Ayurveda ( Sanskrit : ayu —life; veda —knowledge of) or ayurvedic medicine is a more than 6,000 year old comprehensive system of medicine based on a holistic approach.
The Charaka and Sushruta Samhitās are compendiums of two traditions rather than texts authored by single authors.

 AWAMI - the new world of treatment
Beside Vyasadeva's information about hundreds of herbal drugs in the Vedas, there were descriptions later on, by other sages like Sushruta, Charaka, etc. on how to perform prosthetic surgery to replace limbs, cosmetic surgery on the nose and elsewhere, caesarean section, and even brain surgery!
The great sage Charaka has given information in Ayurveda about the development of the child within the womb week by week, month by month, limb by limb, from conception to birth, that equals our modern medical texts in accuracy.
All are described in the most simple and profound manner so as to make it easy enough for any person to have a basic working knowledge of this great science of life Ayurveda.

 Ancient India - Science & Medicine
Charaka was the first physician to present the concept of digestion.
According to Charaka, a noted practitioner of Ayurveda in ancient India: "A physician who fails to enter the body of a patient with the lamp of knowledge and understanding can never treat diseases.
Shushruta was one of the first to study the human anatomy.

 1.0 Anthropological background and overview of Ayurveda
The differences between the Charaka and Sushruta Samhita s are the functional (physiological) and structural (anatomical) aspects of Ayurveda respectively.
The Charaka Samhita is wholly concerned with Kaya (internal) chikitsa (medicine), and is not fully representative of the entire teachings of the Agnivesha Samhita.
Many Ayurvedic commentators define ayus as "life," but Charaka expands upon this definition, telling us that ayus is the "combination of the body, sense organs, mind and soul" (Sharma and Dash 1992, 25), the factor responsible for preventing decay, and that which transmigrates from one body to another.

 A Summary of the Late D. Chattopadhyaya's Critique of Charaka Samhita
Charaka Samhita is an important work on medicine.
According to Chattopadhayaya, Charak Sanhita gives not only many examples of flat contradictions in the text, but also shows how to explain the contradictions and avoid the fallacy of taking everything embodied in the text as representing the genuine standpoint of ancient Indian medicine.
Indian medical system has the great treatments for many incurable diseases.

 History of Ayurveda
Sushruta clearly states the importance of both theoretical and practical knowledge and describes ways and means to develop surgical skills.
His traits called Ashtanga Hridaya presented a summary of charala and sushruta with gleanings from other Ayurvedic writers like Agnivesha, Bhela and Harita, again brought the subject up-to-date.
Then it elaborates the physiological and anatomical structure of the human body, various etiological agents, along with their role in pathogenesis, symptoms and signs of various diseases, the methodology for examination of patients, treatment, and prognosis.

 Radiant healthy glowing skin....the natural way!
Sage Charaka followed the Atreya School of Physicians, which primarily deals with healing through internal and external application of medicine.
The Samhita focuses on healing the body, mind and soul of a patient in the non- invasive manner that's Kayachikitsa.
The prime difference between Charaka and Susruta Samhitas and Astanga Hridaya is that Astanga Hridaya emphasizes on the physiological aspect of the body rather than the spiritual aspects.

Āyurveda is traditionally divided into eight branches which, in Charaka's scheme, are:
The Agnivesha Samhitā was later revised by Charaka and it came to be known as Charaka Samhitā.
