Medicine to restore life ‘Sanjeevani’ was available in India. Foreign rulers gave secondary status to country’s ancient excellent researches and medicines. As a result, we became unaware of them gradually. This was stated by Higher and Technical Education Minister Umashankar Gupta at four-day ‘Research Mechanism Workshop’ at Bhopal Memorial Hospital and Research Centre here on Thursday. The workshop will continue from March 12 to 15.
Gupta said that the country had great Vaidyas like Charak, Dhanwantri and Sushen. Prescriptions of their medicines are still enshrined in ancient epics.
