Summary of article contents:

Ayurveda is the oldest holistic system of medical science. The belief that it is not applicable for emergencies and mere used as an alternative therapy is a myth and is wrong, misguiding and devaluating the Ayurveda. Many references are present in Ayurveda text books especially in Sushruta samhita that have proven the glorious history of Ayurveda for successful management of emergency and life threatening conditions like Agnidagdha (Burn), Kanthpidana (Throttling), Dhumopahata (Smoke choking), Atiraktasrava (Heavy bleeding) , Moodhgarbha (Retained featus) , Bhagna (Dislocation and fracture), Atisara and Chhardi (Acute diarrhea and vomiting) etc. These managements have become obsolete over the due course of time. So, in this article, a review of ancient methods of management of emergencies as described by Sushruta is being attempted. Keywords: Emergency, Ayurveda, Sushruta INTRODUCTION
