As stated by Bhushan Patwardhan, in his article, “Bridging Ayurveda with evidence-based scientific approaches in medicine” in the EPMA Journal, Ayurveda is one of the traditional systems of medicine that practices holistic principles primarily focused on personalized health. Originated in India, Ayurveda is one of the ancient yet living health traditions. Ayurveda is commonly referred as ‘science of life’ because the Sanskrit meaning of Ayu is life and Veda is science or knowledge. Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita (~400 BC–200 AD) and Ashtanga Hridaya of Vagbhata are main classics, which give detailed descriptions of over 700 herbs and 6,000 formulations. The epistemology of Ayurveda is based on the relation between microcosm and macrocosm involving five basic elements (mahabhoota), three dynamic principles similar to humors (dosha), seven types of tissues (dhatus) and many other unique concepts.
According to Hindustan Timesarticle, dated September 7, 2019, “India and the US’ shared commitment to promote Ayurveda” written by Dhananjay Tiwari, the ministry of AYUSH and the United States department of health and human services have been facilitating engagements between the institutions of the two countries to promote collaborative research and develop evidence-based guidelines to integrate the AYUSH system with modern medicine. Since the first Indo-US health dialogue was held in September 2015 in New Delhi, a range of activities have been undertaken by the countries to disseminate information about ayurveda.
