Ayurveda is based on the principle of keeping the connected relations within the body and mind in balance. Ayurvedic literature contains remedies for age-related diseases such as memory loss, bone loss, diabetic wounds, and others for which there is no effective medicine in modern therapy.

There is a significant difference between Allopathic and Ayurvedic medicine approaches. Ayurveda requires more research in fundamental principles and diagnostic tools rather than drug research. In the current situation, Ayurvedic research methodology is not being followed as religiously as it should be, which necessitates further development and promotion of Ayurveda.
