The Indian population has used Ayurvedic herbs for centuries, but
now modern scientific work has led to recognition and acceptance at
a global level. The major cause of the increased popularity of
Ayurvedic medicine stems from recent scientific validation and its
potential in lifestyle management. This growth in research in India
and worldwide has created the need for a resource covering the
scientific development of Ayurvedic herbs for practice during the
postclassical period. The Modern Ayurveda: Milestones Beyond the
Classical Age explores a host of topics essential to understanding
the surge of scientific work now being conducted on this ancient
practice. A one-point source for the modern explorer attempting to
appreciate the transformation of Ayurveda from an empirical to a
rationalist understanding, the book enumerates more than 400
Ayurvedic herbs with compiled information including their botanical
name, common Ayurvedic name and family, their attributes, chemical
constituents, phytochemical markers, pharmacological actions, and
their interactions and toxicity. It explores current research
methodologies for the evaluation of efficacy and safety of herbal
medicine and discusses the contemporary international regulatory
status of herbal drugs. Ayurvedic medicine can be better understood
and utilized through the application of modern scientific
analytical tools for standardization, modern pharmacological tools
for safety and efficacy evaluation, and the application of
biotechnology to elicit the mechanism of drug actions. Bringing
Ayurveda into the 21st century, this volume will inform further
progress and open new doors to treatment.
