About Ayurveda
Understanding the Holistic Essence of Ayurvedic Healing.
Background
Ayurveda is one of the Indian systems of medicine and a growing sector with rising demand for safe and effective products. With the increasing urbanization and changing lifestyles of the public, there are a soaring number of chronic disorders in the society. There is an uptrend in the research going on the development of products for abnormal conditions such as Obesity and Alzheimer’s diseases which are caused because of changed and irregular food habits and life styles.
A classic Ayurvedic text that parallels the time frame of the Atharva Veda, is the Charaka Samhita. Written in the Indus Valley area around 1000 BCE in Sanskrit, it is a treatise on general medicine. This strongly suggests the probability that Ayurveda, though of pan-Indo-European origins earlier, had begun to evolve into a distinct entity within the sub-continent by the first millennium BCE.
Ayurveda’s lasting influence in the non-Indo-European sphere began after the rise and spread of Buddhism in the 6th century BCE Buddhist monks introduced Ayurveda to China, Tibet, Korea, Mongolia and Sri Lanka, leaving a lasting legacy in their medical systems.
More recently, the German translation of an Ayurvedic text that dates back to less than 1000 BCE, the Susruta Samhita, contributed to modern medicine the discipline of plastic surgery.
Present Situation
The total herbal drugs market worldwide is approximately Rs. 2,67,000 crores. In order to have sustainable drug development, the company intends to carry out clinical studies and development of required documentation. The company intends to register/license selected products in regulated markets. This needs standardization of natural raw materials and validate the manufacturing processes. The company also intends to make efforts in these areas to have the required traditional knowledge and skilled manpower.

With the advent of the patent era and the implementation of WTO guidelines, India will increasingly be finding it difficult to meet its demand for drugs for treating different diseases such as hepatitis, obesity, bronchial disorders, neurological disorders, impotency, cardio vascular, diabetes, arthritis disease, siroroga (head related diseases), panduroga (anaemia), apasmara (epilepsy), agnimandyam (indigestion), paksavata (Paralysis), danta roga (teeth problems), visamajwara (fevers), sannipatajwara (fever) and gulma (tumors). The conventional medicines are priced beyond the reach of the common public and we need to import these products at exorbitant prices at the cost of the health of the nation both economic as well as physical. To overcome such a scenario it is essential that we explore the Traditional knowledge of our ancient science such as Ayurveda to come up with answers to the latest diseases in a cost effective manner.
