The Ancient Science of Ayurvedic Surgery
Welcome to the Shalya Tantra Department at Himalaya Ayurvedic Medical College & Hospital, where ancient surgical wisdom meets modern medical excellence. As one of the eight branches of Ayurveda, Shalya Tantra represents the sophisticated surgical knowledge that existed in ancient India.
Shalya Tantra deals with the extraction of foreign bodies and the management of various surgical conditions using both traditional and contemporary techniques, emphasizing minimal invasion and natural healing.
