History of Allopathy Medicine 

Its is believed that allopathy (modern system of medicine) discovered by Hippocrates a Greek physician in 300-400 century but there is no authentic evidence that modern medicine used before 1800 century as first modern medicine was invented only in 1804 by a German scientist “Friedrich Sertürner” but commercial usage of modern medicine started in mid of 1900 century when it was first used in second world war to treat bacterial infections and as pain killer for army peoples during their injuries in war. If we talked about the modern medicine start in India then it was promoted by the British government in India otherwise before 1900 century major source of treatment was ayurvedic treatment in India by the Indian Vaidya.

3 First Modern Medicine Invention in Allopathy 

1st Morphine for Pain & Neurological Disorder

First modern medicine was invented by a German scientist “Friedrich Sertürner” in 1804 and its name was “Morphine”, But the main source of active chemical was opium which was extracted in his laboratory but in Indian system of medicine or Ayurveda our ancient Indian scholars (Sadhus/ Maharishi’s) already using opium (Afim) helps to balance Kapha and Vata Dosha and increase the Pitta Dosha in the body and to treat severe pain, muscle pain, spasm, neurological disorder, neuropathy, anxiety and depression etc. But later opium is comes under the narcotics act and controlled by The Central Bureau of Narcotics and ayurvedic manufacturing in Mohali cannot use the opium without approval of narcotics dep’t. and state drug licensing authority.
