KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM HH HARIVILAS MAHARAJ’S MORNING BHAGAVATAM CLASS ON SB 2.7.20

Everything emanates from the ultimate source of the Personality of Godhead; it is understood in this verse that medical science was also inaugurated by the Personality of Godhead in His incarnation Dhanvantari, and thus this knowledge is recorded in the Vedas.
The Vedas are the source of all knowledge, and thus knowledge in medical science is also there for the perfect cure of the diseases of the living entity.
The embodied living entity is diseased by the very construction of his body. The body is the symbol of diseases.
The disease may differ from one variety to another, but disease must be there just as there is birth and death for everyone. 
So, by the grace of the Personality of Godhead, not only are diseases of the body and mind cured, but also the soul is relieved of the constant repetition of birth and death.
Therefore, the name of the Lord is also called bhavauṣadhi, or the source of curing the disease of material existence.
Ayurveda is so powerful if you practice it properly it can even bring a dead person to life and an old man to become a young man. One example is in Canto 9 – story of Cyavana muni.. and the Aśvinī-kumāra brothers, the heavenly physicians. Cyavana muni requested them to give him youthful life, for they were able to do so. The Chyavanprash that we get in India is named after Cyavana muni.
SB 9.3.9 – King Śaryāti, being very contemplative and thus understanding Cyavana Muni’s purpose, gave his daughter in charity to the sage.
SB 9.3.10 – Cyavana Muni was very irritable, but since Sukanyā had gotten him as her husband, she dealt with him carefully, according to his mood. Knowing his mind, she performed service to him without being bewildered.
This is an indication of the relationship between husband and wife. If any wife wants to be happy with her husband, she must try to understand her husband’s temperament and please him. This is victory for a woman.
However great a woman may be, she must place herself before her husband in this way; that is to say, she must be ready to carry out her husband’s orders and please him in all circumstances. Then her life will be successful. When the wife becomes as irritable as the husband, their life at home is sure to be disturbed or ultimately completely broken.
According to the Vedic law – there is no such thing as divorce, a woman must be trained to be submissive to the will of her husband. Westerners contend that this is a slave mentality for the wife, but factually it is not; it is the tactic by which a woman can conquer the heart of her husband, however irritable or cruel he may be. 
In this case we clearly see that although Cyavana Muni was not young but indeed old enough to be Sukanyā’s grandfather and was also very irritable, Sukanyā, the beautiful young daughter of a king, submitted herself to her old husband and tried to please him in all respects. Thus she was a faithful and chaste wife.
A chaste woman will never accept any man other than her husband, even if there be someone equally as handsome and qualified.
SB 2.7.21 TRANSLATION:

The Lord in His incarnation of Dhanvantari very quickly cures the diseases of the ever-diseased living entities simply by His fame personified, and only because of Him do the demigods achieve long lives. Thus the Personality of Godhead becomes ever glorified. He also exacted a share from the sacrifices, and it is he only who inaugurated the medical science or the knowledge of medicine in the universe.
