yes , I think so

Thanks@Khaled Al-Farhany for your reply.

Before answering the question, we have to understand two very important points.

1. Addition of any plant extract (sovent extracted portion of dry plant parts) with some chemical/s MUST not be considered as "Ayurvedic".

The global cosmetic industry is running on that wrong propaganda.

2. The different formulations used to prepare some polyherbal preparations in a base (as honey) is considered as "Ayurveda". As these are taught in Bachelor degree syllabus of Ayurveda, it is generally considered as correct.

But in true sense, the concept is not correct.

The other types of plant derived medicines used by the rural and tribal people are also very much important. Some succulent stems, roots, leaves ot their extracts are among them.

These should also be studied with equal importance to cover the subject completely.

Thanks.

For your nice replies

Thanks again

Yes, Ayurveda will also become a global phenomena like Yoga.

Yoga is very very effective in curing diseases form its roots.

Thanks@Dr Sahdev for your reply

Thanks@ Vishnu Kumar Gupta for your reply

I think it will be a global phenomenon in a very short time like Yoga. In India it is already catching up very fast.Ayurveda seems to be useful as an alternative medicine.

Thanks @ Ashok Pundir for your nice reply

Definitely, Ayurveda will also become a global phenomena like Yoga,but all Ayurvedic health professional work hard to make dream come true. One more issue in this arena both Ayurveda and Yoga falls under CAM ,But Ayurveda is having active intervention so more evidence-based studies are required.

Ayurveda is a way of life, more than healing. It is about balance between man and his environment, and restoring equilibrium is the basis of healing. That's why he can do more than modern medicine.

All elements of Ayurveda can be explained by modern research results, not contradicting modern medicine.

Nice reply@Ivan Szalkai

Currently, I am not so sure. However, it might happen.

If Ayurveda has to prosper, it must encourage and inculcate more evidence based research instead of claiming that it is holistic. For establishing true cause and effect relationships, conducting experiments is the easiest and definite method. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and experiments involving hypothesis testing must be the means for its growth.

A clinical or epidemiological experiment involving human subjects with completely randomized design is usually referred to as randomized controlled trial (RCT). RCTs are generally employed in testing the safety and efficacy of a medicine or drug, medical device, surgery, or some other treatment. Unfortunately, some of the basic assertions of Ayurveda are questionable. For example, Ayurveda says that the state of health or disease is because of the equality or inequality of thridoshas, viz. vata, pitta and kapha. Science cannot prosper if you cling to these kind of dogmas. You should be able to test falsifiable hypotheses.

Thanks Abdullah Noori and C George Thomas for your replies and views.

Thanks again

Unfortunately, it has to go many more miles.

Thanks@ D.Suresh Kumar for your reply

Dear Dr. Kumar

One cannot be naive about answering this question. It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with how effective, safe or powerful this form of health care is, as responders kindly pointed out. That has a minimal or negligible influence on the eventual spread or popularity of this or any other holistic approach. There are only two paths to global acceptance or notoriety.

1. Acceptance by the medical community. If the authorities, licensing boards and professional organizations in various industrialized nations fully embraced and sanctioned Ayurveda, it could reach such a status. That cannot happen if the medicines are not classified as restricted, prescription-only drugs. So, no, not by this route.

2. The populist route. This depends almost wholly on marketing, positioning, influencers, USP (unique selling proposition), and other social, market, and even political factors. In its current overall brand identity, no, not at all. It will remain respectably on the established fringe unless it can manage a proper mix of the above, such as Mindfulness achieved after a 5,000-10,000 years of effectiveness.

The notes are very interesting. I have been teaching ayurveda for 10 years at the Miskolc (state) university. As with all the individual focusing method, where all variables are, it is difficult to evaluate the results from the same base by statistical methods.

The first thing to understand is the essence of ancient formulations, and we seek scientific explanation. Dosa is essentially a genetic-based set where the frequency of diseases, the standard deviation of the laboratory findings, the correlation of the diseases they are verified (raised).

Modern medicine also knows the psychological causes of illness and how the mind has affects its outcomes. For example, the blood pressure projection solve with breathing techniques (relaxing) and handling marma points in few minutes (not medicines).

The evidence base methods is good for statistical analysis of same massive phenomenas. Of course, we also carry out control group or self-control studies. The latter are better because the circumstances do not change (the same patient with their own contexts). Thus we could demonstrate the panchacarma effect on the vegetative nervous system and cognitive functions.

What I have described as definition, that is the essence of these experiences and not a populist text.

Until and unless you do 'Pardigm Shift' experiments proving Ayurveda as an independent science, Ayurveda will fail in front of modern Science which is based on reductionist axioms. Shifting the axioms and doing experiment based on it will make Ayurveda/Siddha Authentic..
