The reflection of Indian Philosophy in Ayurveda
India has a rich and diverse philosophical tradition dating back to ancient times. Traditionally schools (darsanas) of Indian philosophy are identified as orthodox (aastika) or non-orthodox (naastika) depending on whether they regard the veda as an infallible source of knowledge.
There are mainly six schools of orthodox hindu philosophy and three heterodox schools. The orthodox are Nyaaya, Vaiseshika, Saankhya, Yoga, Poorva mimaamsa, and Vedaanta. The heterodox are Jaina, baudha, and caarvaka.
