Abstract:
Aim: The goal of this study was to find out more about Ayurveda and how it has influenced drug discovery strategies. Materials and methods: We've read every published study on Ayurveda's extensive history and wide-ranging usage today. Ayurvedic pharmaceutical quality evaluation includes quality control, standardisation, chemo-profiling, and metabolite fingerprinting. Developing safe, effective, high-quality Ayurvedic medications for human health is gaining pace. Scientific documentation, process validation, and other variables ensure the quality, safety, and effectiveness of Ayurvedic drugs. Results: This study focuses on Ayurveda's main goal and role in healthcare. Ayurveda discusses Arka, Asavas, Aristas, Churna, Taila, Vati, Gutika, Bhasma, etc. Ayurvedic herbs yielded many interesting therapeutic ingredients. Chemo-profiling is required to assess Ayurvedic medication effectiveness. Standardization, stability, and quality consistency of Ayurvedic items are talked about, as well as measuring bioactive chemicals, identifying fake and similar drugs, and chromatographic fingerprinting. Conclusion: Scientific validation and documentation are essential for Ayurvedic treatment to be acknowledged globally. Ayurvedic herbs' identification, purity, safety, drug content, and physical and biological qualities may all contribute to their medicinal efficacy. Ayurvedic medicine must be studied using cutting-edge science to be acknowledged. This study tries to help by pointing out important things to think about as Ayurvedic medicine spreads.
