Woman: Comparative Study between Ayurveda and Buddhism

Abstract

From the ancient times some scholars and artists spent their time and energy to comprehend the reality of female in multiple angles. Meanwhile she has advanced considerably through religious and medical field too. In the medical point of view Ayurveda has shown that motherhood of the female is laid in her physical structure and in the religious point of view Buddhism has described about her spirituality and attitude. Although a number of scientific and literary studies on women are found in the field of Ayurveda, still there has been no study carried out on the comparative study of women between Ayurveda and Buddhism. Acharya Charaka has mentioned that a person should not insult a woman and should not have too much reliance upon them.
