While everyone is familiar with practitioners and what their qualifications mean, some may not realize that Ayurveda practitioners are equally qualified practitioners who undergo rigorous education and training.
Ayurvedic practitioners who are trained in India have to take the professional degree called the Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine & Surgery (BAMS) which involves five and half years of study. Surgery in Ayurveda pertains to para-surgical procedures like ksara karma, agnikarma, jalukavacharna and such.
