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. Keywords: Dissection, dead body preservation, Preservation
