In 1500 B.C. the Dravidian people were invaded by the Aryans who brought the Atharva-Veda, from whichcame the Ayurveda. In 1000 B.C., the philosophical foundations of Ayurveda arose through Samkhya. In 700 B.C., the creation of Ayurvedic medicine Universities took place, and in Buddhist period (500 B.C-10th century), there was an expansion of this medical knowledge. From 10thcentury to the 12th century, with various Muslim invasions, the destruction of a part of the Ayurveda culture was verified, and only in the 16th century some of the texts of Ayurveda were recovered. In the 16th and 17th centuries, through the contact with the diseases of the Western civilization, the discredit of Ayurveda occurred, which only reappeared in the 20th century.
