ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is gaining popularity because it effectively treats many chronic illnesses. Ayurvedic remedies are often used in conjunction with and/or after traditional medical techniques as the majority of patients start taking conventional pharmaceuticals as soon as their diagnoses are made. Understanding food, spices, and medicinal plants' actions in-depth is necessary to fully appreciate their potential effect. The use of highly concentrated products derived from single plants, sometimes in the form of teas or pills, is of more concern, even though society uses ayurvedic herbs and Indian spices frequently and without incident. The methods by which polyherbal medications and their extracts work differ from those of single ingredients or synthetic pharmaceuticals in several important ways. Even though ayurvedic medications are made from natural herbal ingredients, their effectiveness depends on how they are administered, taking into account the requirements of the patient and the nature of the ailment being treated.
