History of Medical Tourism, Health and Wellness Tourism in   Mahabharata  Period, India -10
History of Medical Tourism, Health and Wellness Tourism in India, South Asia   -19
 By: Bhishma Kukreti (Medical Tourism Historian)
 Medical Tourism is not limited to patients visiting doctor but doctor visiting to patient is medical tourism too.
     In Rural India, still the Mantric (Mantra Expert that offers herbs too) visits the patient bit by the snake. In Mahabharata too , there is description of Snake Bite Doctor (Mantric) visiting the patient bit by snake. (Adiparva , 50, 18-25
 The story is that a sage son cursed King Parikshit for dying by Takshak Snake . Parikshit arranged many protective methods for snake bite. Parikshit declared money for doctors who could save him from poisonous Takshak Snake . A Snake Bite Expert sage Kashyap started visiting Parikshit palace in hope of huge wealth . On the way, Sage Kashyap met Snake Takshak. After asking question, Kashyap told to Kashyap that he (sage) was an expert. Takshak bit a green tree and burnt  it by poison  and Kashyap made the ead tree alive by his Mantra . Takshak lured Kashyap by offering Kashyap more money and Kashyap returned back without visiting King Parikshit.
 स दष्ट मात्रो नागेन भस्मी भूतो अ भवन्नग:
काश्यपश्च ततो राजन्नजीवयत तं नगम  ( Adiparva 50, 23)
स एवमुक्तो नागेन काश्यपो द्विपदां वर :
लब्ध्वा वितं निववृते तक्ष्काद यावदीप्सितम ( Adiparva 50, 25)
The above story clearly is an example of medical tourism where doctor visiting the patient for money .

Other Examples of Sperm donation in Mahabharata Epic

History of Medical Tourism, Health and Wellness Tourism in Mahabharata Epic, India -11
History of Medical Tourism, Health and Wellness Tourism in India, South Asia   -20
 By: Bhishma Kukreti (Medical Tourism Historian)

  There are mentions of sperm donation a couple of stories in Mahabharata epic. All five Pandavas and Karna were born from Kunti though sperm donation.
   There are details of sperm donation story in 117- 123 Chapters of Sabhaparva. Prince Pandu was cursed by a sage for unable to had * with women. For repenting the curse Prince Pandu had to live in forest (Ganhmdhan, Garhwal) with his queens Kunti and Mdri  . Pandu was sa for not having sons for continuing his family tree. Pandu made Kunti understand for having sons from other man.
Pandu says
तस्मात् प्रहेष्याम्यद्य त्वां हीन प्रज्ञननात स्वयं
सदृशाच्छ्रेयसो वा त्वं विद्भयपत्यर यश्वनि (Sabhaparva , 120, 37)
“Therefore, O Kunti! I am unable for producing children. Therefore, I shall send you to other man You produce child from other man that is as good as me in character or better than me “

With the consent of Pandu, Kunti called three different quality men one after one.  She born three sons Yudhishthar from Dharma, Bhima from Vayu and Arjun from Indira. Madri conceived two sons Nakul and Sahdev  by Ashini Kumar. (Sabhaparva 119-123). Those stories are clear case of Sperm donation a type of medical tourism. The story suggests that Gandhmadhan would be famous for sperm donation. Here, the donors visit the receivers and don’t demand money.
In 121chapter of Sabhaparva, there is another story of sperm donation . The donor donte sperms to queen Bhara ,
 In both the cases donors visited the receivers and both are good example of medical tourism concept.
Mahabharata was created before 3000 years back, however, the real compilation , addition , editing was completed in Gupta Era (4 00- 700 AD).  Therefore, it could be guessed that around Gupta Era, there was concept of Sperm Donation tourism.

                Importance of Hospitality in Mahabharata Epic
History of Medical Tourism, Health and Wellness Tourism in Mahabharata Epic , India -12
History of Medical Tourism, Health and Wellness Tourism in India, South Asia   -21
 By: Bhishma Kukreti (Medical Tourism Historian)
  Welcoming and caring the guests is very old tradition in India.  In Taittriya Upanishad there is a sholka as under
मातृदेवो भव: Mother is God
पित्रि देवो भव : Father is God
आचार्य देवो भव : Teacher is God
अतिथि देवो भव : Guest is God
(Taittriya Upanishad 1, 11.2)
Atithi means that does not have any date for arriving or that arrives  by without prior information  too.
 In Mahabharata, there are many instances wherein the treatment to guests is given the most than life itself.
  Dying Bhishma tells the importance of hospitality to Yudhishthira in Anushasan Parva chapter 649. Bhishma tell the story of  Sudarshn . Once , a guest came to his house and wife of Suarshan id not care for her husband but cared the Brahmin guest.  Brahmin aske wife of Sudarshn as Bhiksha. Suarshan became ready  for offering his wife. Guest was in fact the incarnated Dharma. Deities and goddesses threw flowers on Sudarshan for his devotion to the guest.
    Bhishma told to Yudhishthira that serving the guest is as good as serving the Almighty.  As per Mahabharata, the guest server wins the death. Serving guest is nothing but worshipping the God. it is said in this chapter that that serves the guest well gets heaven (Punya lok)  It is said in the above chapter of Mahabharata that that does not serve the guest is sin .

  Migration for Passing Retirement Life in Mahabharata Epic
History of Medical Tourism, Health and Wellness Tourism in   Mahabharata Epic , India -13
History of Medical Tourism, Health and Wellness Tourism in India, South Asia   -22
 By: Bhishma Kukreti (Medical Tourism Historian)
   From the early time, people have been conscious passing retired life peacefully and practicing spiritual activities. Today, too, people make strategies for retirement life.
 There is a separate chapter in Mahabharata for describing four main period of common human being – brahmchary ashram, grihasth ashram, baanprasth ashram and sanyas ashram. I Mahabharata’s Anushashan parva , there is description of activities for passing the last retirement life (SanyasAshram ) ( Sankhipt Mahbharata , Part II, page 1381-1386, Geeta Press India,)
 Mahabharata suggests the human being for migrating elsewhere as soon as he/she enters in last phase of life . It is essential to migrate away from home in Sanyas Ashram.
 Mahabharata suggests  many acts for passing Sanyas Ashram or retired life as –
 Simple food, less food, yama, Cleanliness, truthful life, Contently life, not to be afraid of long ife or death, . On the whole the person should be away from home and family and pass life with spiritual activities rather family life. The Sanyasi was suggested to get food by begging (means touring for food).
 After Kurukshetra war,  King Dhritarashtra, his wife gandhari, queen Kunti and Minister Vidur migrated from Kurukshetra to bank of Bhagirathi (Garhwal Uttarakhand) for passing their retired life (Sanyas Ashram) ( Ibid pages 1933). The story tells that there were other King too those were passing retired life as Sages.
   Migration from one place to peaceful place for retired life is nothing but a kind of  tour under medical tourism /wellness tourism.

   From the beginning human being had been following medical tourism in small scale or unorganized ways and not in organized way as being followed these days. Perhaps medical tourism word was not coined in past especially around 5th century AD. Therefore, less is written about tour for medical aids.

Panini mentions medicinal plants, medicines and medical practitioners too.
    Oshadhi and Vanaspati

 Panini classified on the basis of their produces – Aushadhivana-forest tracts producing herbs, durvana – forest producing fodders and Vanaspativana forest producing trees . Panini classified plants into Aushadhi (herbs)  and Vanaspati (trees).
 Agarwala cited names of various medicinal value trees, grasses, medicinal herbs in his article
Trees in Panini– There are following trees (those had and have medicinal values ) mentioned in Ashtadhyayi of Panini (Agarwala) –
Ashvattha (Ficus relgiosa), Nyagrodha (Ficus bengalansis), Plaksha (Ficus infectoria), Amra (mango), Palasa (Butea species) Bilva (Wood apple tree) , Khadira (catechu tree), Simsapa (seas am) Varana, Sami, Pilu, Karsya (Sal), Piyuksha, Tala, Jamla, Haritaki (Yellow Myrobalan ) , Vamsa (bamboo), Sidhraka) Vishtara,
 There are names of Aushadhi or medicinal herbs, and grasses and weeds, fruits  in Ashtahyayi Panini .

  Dr. V.S. Agarwal argued that Panini took Trina (grass) and Dhanya (cereals) separately than ‘vanspati Trees) due to Trina and Dhanya are aushadhi (medicines)
 The minor herbs are I Sutra IV 1 64 (paka –karna –parna-pushpa , mula –bal –uttara-padach-cha )  Dr Agarwal showed inability for informing names of medicinal plants as  he states – “Individual names of herbs cannot be cited from Panini  except on the basis of four accessory (Anantrgana )  sutras to the Ajadi group . It appears there are names Triphala, Saatparak kanda , Amula, Brahmi , etc   
 There are many medicinal values plants cited in Ashtadhyayi by Panini under flowers , grasses and fruits .

Explanation for Charaka name in Ashtadhyayi by  Panini
Glimpses of Medical Tourism in Ashtadhyayi of Panini -3

History of Medical Tourism, Health and Wellness Tourism in Panini   Period, India - 3

  There is mention of Charaka name in Ashtadhyayi by Panini. Charaka explanation offers glimpses of tourism for gaining education. Taking education for medical practices is one of ways of medical tourism.    
 In Panini period, the professional training (technical ) was called Janpadi Vidya or education of janpada or region  and Shastra education was named Bhayushi –
जानदीपु विद्यात पुरुषो भवति, पारोवर्यवित्सु तु खलु वेदित्रिपु भूयोविद्य प्रशस्यो भवति (यास्क )
(Reference ,  Atidev , 1960 Ayurved ka Vrihad Itihas   page 88 )
    In past ,  students were of three types – Mnav , Antevasi and Charak .  Panini put Manav and Chraka together. (माणवचरकाभ्याखल 5/11). The student that used to take education at one place was called Antevasi. The students those used to take education roaming from one Guru to other guru was called Charaka. It can be concluded that the Ayurveda student student that used to roam from on Ashram to another Ashram was called ‘Charaka’. Mahabharata compiler Vaisampayana was also called Charaka. Those students used stay for short period in Gurukul A Chinese tourist mentioned Panini as Charaka too.
 From Panini time till British period  usually a Brahmin student used to take education of Shastra along with Ayurveda and usually Karmakand Brahmin or Astrologer Brahmin used to be Ayurveda doctor too. It was a tradition for centuries. That means the medicine students that used to roam one Guru to another was Charaka - Ayurveda student.

   Kanjiv Lochan (3 ) rightly stressed that the reference of Ayurveda in Panini and  Mahabharata rightly justifies that  the physicians of the latter half of the first millennium BC were no longer restricted for  curing diseases but  were also busy in exploring a complete science of health and medicines.
 In Aushadhi gana , there are mentions of Ayurveda Acharya as Bhardwaja and Atreya.
 There are mentions of physicians or medical practitioners or doctors in Gargadimyo gana (4/1/105) as
Jatukarna
Parashar
Agnivesh
  The above three Ayurveda Acharya were disciples of Acharya Atreya .
Dr. Manasa states in an article Ayurveda of Sanskrit Grammar Text of Panini that there is a mention of Acharya Sushruta and his disciples in Ashtadhyayi (easyayurveda.com)
