Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest medical systems pioneering the ways of healthcare; originated in ancient India and evolved over more than 5000 years. A health system with strong philosophical foundations and eternal practical knowledge is the basis of its survival from the time immemorial. The aim of Ayurveda is to integrate and balance the body, mind, and spirit. It is a health system with strong philosophical foundations. Ayurveda is believed to help in preventing illness as well as promote wellness. Being holistic in nature, people from all over the world are now attracted towards this ancient system of medicine. The 2007 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) conducted in the United States reveal that approximately 38% of American adults are following complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and Ayurveda is one among it.1

Integrative medicine is defined as "a combination of treatments from conventional allopathic medicine and Complementary & Alternative Medicine for which there is some high-quality evidence of safety and effectiveness. Ayurveda's origins arose out of India, and it is a distinct practice used in many cultures and branches of medicine even today. The word Ayurveda comes from two Sanskrit words, ayus(life) and veda(knowledge). Ayurveda and yoga are often called sister sciences, as yoga asanas and pranayama (breathing techniques) are used in palliative care and stress management routines. Ayurveda and Yoga are designed to be complementary to each other, as well as separate practices. As individuals we may need options towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Many of you may already have practiced some of the techniques we will suggest today, while other techniques will be new to you. Some will be daily suggestions, and some will be seasonal.
Indian Journal of Medical Ethics
Ayurveda, the indigenous medical system of India, has integrated the concept of interconnectedness into its understanding of health and disease. It considers the human body as an indivisible whole with a network of interrelated functions, mind and consciousness, wherein a disturbance in one part will have repercussions in other parts as well. The key to health is for these factors to maintain stability since disease is seen as a perturbation in this network. Ayurvedic treatment aims not only at removal of disease, but also at the restoration of the equilibrium of bodily functions. The centuries-old science of Ayurveda, apart from being a holistic form of medicine, also clearly defines the student-teacher and doctor-patient relationship. It sets high ethical standards of professional and personal integrity for the doctor, teacher and student. In addition to being technically skilled and well-read in the science, practitioners of Ayurveda must be compassionate and empathetic. Students of Ayurveda are taught the importance of compassionate caring for patients and maintaining personal integrity.

India is medically a pluralistic society. Homeopathy, siddha, unani, Ayurveda and allopathy co-exist (although with different levels of power) within this nation of over a billion people and non-allopathic systems of health care are making steady inroads [5]. In Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi and Madras, Ayurveda is the world's oldest recorded system of health care and it is still being practiced today. It has influenced many other systems of medicine within and outside India, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Siddha, Unani and various types of massage therapy. India, the birthplace of Ayurveda, is experiencing a renaissance of this ancient system of health promotion, disease prevention and treatment, partly as people outside of India show interest in the resurgence of indigenous knowledge that has transformative potential to heal mental and physical ailments. This paper seeks to understand the philosophical worldview of ayurvedic medicine and its relevance to health promotion and disease prevention with an aim to illustrate its depth of understanding of the human mind and body. Ayurveda is a Hindu system of medicine with its roots in India. It is 5000-6000 years old and is thought to have originated by rishis-wise, ancient people. Ayurvedic health care concentrates on the health and well-being of the individual as a whole, and as a member of society. Principles of health promotion and disease prevention are discussed in this paper. Part of the paper focuses on nutrition, a central aspect of Ayurveda. The kitchen is the pharmacy and the pharmacy is the kitchen-is a well-known tenet of Ayurveda and it is explained here. Overall, Ayurveda has great potential to be revived for modern applications all over the world, particularly if more research is done on it. Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word which literally translates as: ayus or ayur meaning life, and veda meaning science or knowledge, further, uncreated knowledge, knowing, super-sensuous wisdom, and secondarily it refers to the books called the Vedas. Knowledge has a twofold meaning. "The first is derived from the sense-organs and corroborated by varied evidence based upon the experiences of the sense-organs". From this knowledge comes the physical sciences. The second type of knowledge is "transcendent and is realized through the mental and spiritual discipline of yoga". The latter is the subject of the Vedas. Ayurveda is thus a science of life, a system of health and medicine which aims to assist people in living a healthy life. It provides knowledge of how to live (naturally). Most distinct about ayurvedic medicine is its roots in peaceful, spiritual concepts which connect it to a larger philosophy and way of life. The history of ayurvedic medicine is quite different from the history of other systems of medicine, which are rooted in early capitalism and war. Ayurveda is considered to be 5000-6000 years old. Archaeological findings at Mohenjadaro in Sindh and at Harappa in Punjab (approximately 3000 years old) reveal a high level of social sanitation, hygiene and various therapeutic ayurvedic substances that were used by people in these areas.
Ayurveda is one of several traditional medical systems that originate from the Indian subcontinent. It is now represented as the indigenous Indian medical tradition par excellence. As is the case with other Indian medical systems, the origins ofĀyurveda long predate the formation of an Indian nation and are not necessarily set within its geographical boundaries. "Indian" in the context of the history of medicine therefore often denotes quite a large area within South Asia. A second great tradition of medicine, called Siddha, developed in the south of India. It is less well known outside of India, but of similar antiquity and authority toĀyurveda. Other medical systems, originating from countries outside the Indian subcontinent, have been integrated into its cultures and now form part of its medical traditions. The earliest, and perhaps most important of these systems to be imported and acculturated isŪnānī medicine. Much later, but equally significant additions were Homeopathy and Naturopathy. A different development has taken place in the case of Yoga. Here, an indigenous knowledge system has been re-interpreted as the focus has shifted from the philosophical tradition to the health-related aspects of postural and meditative Yoga practice. The developments within the old traditions with their long and varied histories, the addition of new traditions to the established ones, their interrelations and the interweaving of medical thought with a changing religious, political and cultural climate, all form a rich and complicated pattern of medical and social history. The developments starting in the early twentieth century towards the modernization and professionalisation of medicine have brought these and other medical systems into a common frame of health policy and legislation, as health has become the responsibility of the government. Thus, the more recent history of traditional Indian medicine is shaped by health politics. At the same time, the sphere of its influence has widened, asĀyurveda and other traditional medical systems have come to the attention of an international public, taking a position beside other complementary and alternative therapies.
Ayurveda has the distinction of being the "oldest medical system known to man and the oldest and most comprehensive spiritual teachings in the world". Ayurveda is based on the principle of maintaining a balance between the interrelated relationships within the body and mind. It helps the patient to understand the benefits of knowing their body and mind and to live in intimate relationship with nature. Ayurvedic literature has remedies for age-related diseases like memory loss, osteoporosis, diabetic wounds, etc. for which no efficient medicine is available in modern therapy. Even though Ayurveda has a sound literature background, ironically its share in the global medicinal market is very less (0.5%). In order to promote Ayurveda in the international market, ayurvedic drugs should be available in standardized form, which is the minimum requirement for introducing a product in the Western market. Ayurvedic formulations should be standardized on the basis of active principle or major compound(s) along with fingerprints. There as great scope for India to achieve global leadership of traditional medicinal market through export of quality products from Ayurvedic medicinal system. This article gives an overview of Indian traditional medicinal system-Ayurveda. It also highlights the principle of ayurvedic therapy, current status of Ayurveda, the challenges faced by Ayurveda in the modern world and the need of science based research to overcome its drawbacks. According to Caraka -"The Science of life shall never attain finality. Therefore humility and relentless industry should characterize your endeavor and your approach to knowledge. The entire world consists of teachers for the wise and enemies for the fools. Therefore, knowledge, conducive to health, longevity, fame and excellence, coming from even an unknown source, should be received, assimilated and utilized with earnestness".
