ABSTRACT

Research is the creation of new knowledge or the use of existing knowledge in a new and creative way so as to generate New concepts, Methodologies and understandings. In Ayurveda there is mentioned a scientific way to prove the truth. In Charak Samhita Vimansthan chap.8 “Panchavayava vakya” Pratigya, Hetu, Drashtanta, Upanaya and Nigamana. These five steps are the 5 scientific tools to prove the truth. There is always need of proving the truth in front of people so they can know and accept the truth. Medical science is totally based on evidence. In today’s world ayurveda have potential to solve the health challenges but on the other side there’s main challenge for ayurveda is to generate evidence based data. That evidence based data will bring wide acceptance for ayurveda science. Popularity of ayurveda is increasing day by day so there is a large need to generate evidence based data for it’s safety and to prove so many things in front of medical doctors and scientists. In ayurveda there is no need to invent new therapies or principles bcz ayurveda is an eternal science. So there’s vast need to discover the ancient principles in a that way they can complies the modern life style and today’s health diseases. That is the main need of research in ayurveda. For that we need some accurate methodology by using it we can prove the principles in a scientific way. For that we have Panchavayava vakya in ayurveda that have some similarity to modern research methodology.
