Abstract EN
Food is the major source for serving the nutritional needs, but with growing modernization some traditional ways are being given up.
Affluence of working population with changing lifestyles and reducing affordability of sick care, in terms of time and money involved, are some of the forces that are presently driving people towards thinking about their wellness.
There has been increased global interest in traditional medicine.
Efforts to monitor and regulate traditional herbal medicine are underway.
Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicine, remains the most ancient yet living traditions.
Although India has been successful in promoting its therapies with more research and science-based approach, it still needs more extensive research and evidence base.
Increased side effects, lack of curative treatment for several chronic diseases, high cost of new drugs, microbial resistance and emerging, diseases are some reasons for renewed public interest in complementary and alternative medicines.
Numerous nutraceutical combinations have entered the international market through exploration of ethnopharmacological claims made by different traditional practices.
This review gives an overview of the Ayurvedic system of medicine and its role in translational medicine in order to overcome malnutrition and related disorders.
