Abstract

Ayurveda is an ancient science. It is an aprociate way, called as called as “science of life”. It has root in Indian culture. Ayurveda is a comprehensive scientific system of medicine developed through ancient wisdom, clinical experiences and experimentation evidences of clinical experiences for centuries excist in various classical texts and compendia of ayurveda. However, one of the key challengs facing by the ayush systems including ayurveda generating scientific evidence on quality based data, saftey & efficacy of formulation /theriapies & other intervention including basic principles. Research is a continuously evolving process which makes the generation of new knowledge & validates or rejects the present knowledge. The important part of ayurveda is also its preventive aspect which holds significance in the present era. This abstract discusses about the problems in the basic research in Ayurveda. To prove the efficacy of the Ayurvedic drugs it is essential to achieve complete and detailed information about the Pharmacodynamics of the Ayurvedic drugs. But so far such research has not been done and the clinical research has been done which is difficult to prove on the scientific basis. For example a drug has not been studied scientifically means its pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics is not studied and still it has been proved in many diseases.

Keywords: Ayurveda, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, Basic principles.
