Medical Astrology and Ancient Indian Medicine

Highlighting the historical and theoretical relationship between medical astrology and ancient Indian systems like Ayurveda, noting that in olden times every Ayurveda practitioner were supposed to be an astrologer also. Practitioners like Sushruta were said to consult horoscopes before major operations, and Ayurveda, developed as an off-shoot of Atharvana Veda, is closely related, contrasting with modern medicine's lack of attempts to assess astrology's value.
