Ayurvedacharya Siddayya Swamy can be identified as the key person for the formation and creation of Shathayu Ayurveda. He passed his traditional practice of ayurveda science to his son, renowned Vaidya Ramayya Swamy, who was admired and worshipped by people as Vaidya Ratna.
But then it should be regarded that Vaidya Ratna Ramayya Swamy really created the base for Shathayu Ayurveda in 1901 when he started his Ayurvedic Practice starting Ramayya Ayurvedic Aushadalaya with an intention of providing effective & economical healthcare services to people.
To bring authenticity to the medical treatments and having also formed his own unique formulations, he obtained trade licences from Hyderabad Nizam Government. He carried the distinction of even being a doctor for the Nizam Royal family. Post independence, Ramayya Swamy obtained the required trade licenses from Madras Government.
Vaidya Ratna Ramayya Swamy set the following vision in 1901 which has been followed even today:
- Healing people holistically in the form of consultation, Ayurvedic therapies, using different Ayurvedic herbal formulations for various ailments.
- To bring Ayurveda, the evidence based Indian System of Medicine to be a mainstream medical system treating people without compromising on the fundamentals of Ayurveda derived 5000 years ago.
