Ayurveda is the traditional Indian Medicinal system.
It is a science of life with a holistic approach to health and
personalized medicine.
Basic Fundamentals & concepts are highly effective in
treatment but scientific validation is lacking.
There is an urgent need of evidence based research &
involvement of technology in almost every field of Ayurveda to
made it Globally Acceptable.

16. PREVENTION & CURE
Some proved Immunomodulator Ayurvedic medicines like Ashwagandha,
Shatavari, Guduchi, Amlaki etc. can be used as vaccines in the form of
Oral Drops for new borns .
CURATIVE APPROACH
Amplification of fundamental principles of Ayurveda by integrating
modern investigation tools to formulate the pathogenesis from an
Ayurvedic Aspect is needed.
Utmost importance should be given to standardize the fundamental
diagnostic principles, and integrating them with modern investigative tools
and utilizing them for a better diagnostic & treatment perspective.
PREVENTIVE VISION
17. INTEGRATIVE APPROACH
• Basic Sciences + Modern Medicine + Ayurveda
Ultimate aim is to provide benefit to
diseased.
e.g. Piperine enhances the bioavailability of certain Allopathy drugs like Rifampicin,
Theophylline and Propanalol .
18. • Scholars Vision
• Lack of Infrastructure.
• Requirement of Experienced
Researchers.
• Lack of Cooperation b/w modern
scientists and Ayurvedic scholars.
• Lack of students who will enter in
the field of research.
• Old Teaching Methodology.
• Deficient Technology.
• Less Funds

21. CONCLUSION
• Updating Ayurveda, by integrating with modern technology, without
changing the basic principles is the need of today.
• Ayurveda should be nourished with modern intellect.
• Dr. Gopal Basishta ,Senior Rheumatologist of USA , with the unique
