What are the vedas?
The Vedas are texts of Hinduism that have contributed greatly to world civilization. Derived from the root vid, the word vedas has five different meanings. It can refer to any subject or science, including the creation of the universe. Devotees of Bhagavata call it the fifth Veda. There are many other stories about the Vedas that have been interpreted into stories and songs.
The Vedas have four main compositions: Samhitas, Brahmanas, and Aranyakas. The Samhitas contain hymns and mantras; Brahmanas are prose manuals for Hindu prayer and ritual.
The Vedas are divided into two main parts: Upanishads and Aranyakas. The Aranyakas contain rituals performed in forests and remote places and injunctions for forest dwellers. The Upanishads are one of the most popular sections of the Vedas. Its philosophy reflects the philosophies of human and world life. These books can provide insight into many aspects of Hinduism.
The Vedas were originally in oral form and passed down from teacher to student. They were finally committed to writing between 1500 and 500 BCE. However, the Vedas were carefully preserved orally and they had to be re-transcribed in order to be preserved. In the ancient world, the Vedas were primarily recited orally and memorized by masters. The pronunciation of the verses was highly important.
Rigveda mentions of many things related to ayurveda however ayurveda is upveda of atharaveda. In simple words you can say that there is some mention of ayurveda in rigvega but ayurveda is proper part of atharaveda.
Upveda of the rig veda is ayurveda and the theme is medicinal treatment. But answer of the question related to this is given as atharva veda. Confused.
