A LITERARY STUDY ON PRESERVATION OF CADAVER (DEAD BODY) ACCORDING TO AYURVEDIC & MODERN TECHNIQUES – A REVIEW STUDY Authors: Adhikari T And Wahane AKS*
ABSTRACT
The first Indian surgeon was Maharishi Sushruta. According to Ayurveda, Acharya Susruta is
the founder of surgery. Sushruta believes that dissecting a dead body is important for being a
great physician and surgeon. In the Sushruta Samhita, Sushruta briefly describes dissection
and preservation. Preservation needs knowledge of good preservation techniques. If the
incorrect preserving technique is used to protect a dead corpse, the body has a higher risk of
being destroyed. The Sharir Rachana, according to Acharya Charaka, needs a thorough
understanding of Shuksama and Sthula Sharir.A concerted effort is made to compile all
available literature on Ayurvedic science, including how the body is collected, where it will
be preserved, and how it will be preserved. The modern preservation system differs from the
Ayurvedic preservation method.
