1.PLASTIC SURGERY
This might seem a little new to you but its a genuine fact.Sushruta Samhitha was born somewhere around 600 BCE.He is also known as "The First plastic surgeon".During the wars when many soldiers had injuries on their faces(scars,burn) then Sushruta used to fix their faces by pealing of a small portion of their skin from their thighs or Calf and attaching it to their scars on their face.
This basic practice has been adopted by the modern science and now is called Plastic Surgery.Their might be several countries that has the expertise in Plastic surgery but Here i am standing proudly and stating that it was created in India.

AYURVED
Ayurved has been one of the most ancient practices of india in terms of Physical health,It can be called as the begining of the medical science itself.Plant-based treatments in Ayurveda may be derived from roots, leaves, fruits, bark, or seeds such as cardamom and cinnamon. In the 19th century, William Dymock and co-authors summarized hundreds of plant-derived medicines along with the uses, microscopic structure, chemical composition, toxicology, prevalent myths and stories, and relation to commerce in British India. Animal products used in Ayurveda include milk, bones, and gallstones. In addition, fats are prescribed both for consumption and for external use. Consumption of minerals, including sulphur, arsenic, lead, copper sulfate and gold, are also prescribed.The addition of minerals to herbal medicine is called rasa shastra.
Ayurveda is still practiced in India and currently the Awareness for Naturel cure of diseases has been developed in the population of the world.
It is not a religious practice but is a practice of solving the health issue of all the living beings on earth please do not mismatch it with a particular religious group or practices.
