Ashtanga Hrudayam: A Comprehensive Ayurvedic System
Ashtanga Hrudayam is a mobile application designed for Ayurvedic scholars and students. The app is a compendium of the Ayurvedic system composed by Vagbhatta, which incorporates the eight branches of Ayurveda. It is a systematised text of human illness and therapy in six sections, making it a portable ready reference for Ashtanga Hrudaya.
The app offers complete slokas of Ashtanga Hrudaya, without any translations, making it suitable for those who are well-versed in the Ayurvedic language. The interface is user-friendly, with six stanas placed separately on the home screen. The app requires a data network for the first download, but once the stana is downloaded, it is internally stored (cached), and thereafter no network is required.
Ashtanga Hrudayam is a free app with no ads, and it is an excellent resource for Ayurvedic scholars and students who want a comprehensive guide to the Ayurvedic system. However, it may not be suitable for those who are new to Ayurveda and require translations of the slokas.
