Ayurveda, the ancient Indian bioscience depicts all the aspects of a healthy living. A vast amount of literary resourses illustrates the knowledge about this science form. The divine insight of our ancient sage is the source of this knowledge stream.

The entire concept, were branched out in to eight as, kaya chikitsa (internal medicine), salakya Tantra (head and neck disorders), salya Tantra (surgery), visha chikitsa (toxicology), bhuta vidya (supernatural medicine), koumara bhrutya (pediatric medicine), Rasayana (rejuvenant therapy), Vajikarana (virile therapy). Arogya raksha Kalpadruma is a valuable literary resource dealing with the pediatric care. This book has been compiled by a great scholar named, kaikulangara Rama Warrier, who lived in the Kerala terrain in the last century. This literary resource is the one and only leading light in the ancient Kerala tradition of Ayurvedic pediatric care. This work is considered as the valid source of Ayurvedic care of children.
