A GLANCE IN AYURVEDA—THE HIDDEN PAST AND CONCEPTS OF WESTERN INDIAN MEDICINE

Abstract

Ayurveda is considered to be one of the oldest orthodox forms of medicine (TSM) recognized worldwide. Ancient wisdom in this ancient method of medicine is not yet thoroughly known. The junction of rich knowledge from various traditional systems of medicine will lead to new avenues in the process of exploration of herbal medicines. The lack of awareness of discrepancies and parallels between the scientific doctrines of these systems is a significant barrier to their integration, aside from other barriers to the discovery of plant-based medicines. The purpose of this analysis is to illustrate the era of Ayurveda and the fundamental concepts of Ayurveda.
