Abstract:
Ayurvedic system of medicine is as old as the Vedic age. Now–a–days people give
preference to the Ayurvedic medicines as the allopathic medicines are costlier and have side
effects. Ayurvedic medicines are based on plants, animals extract and minerals both in single
ingredient drugs and compound formulations, however, Ayurveda does not rule out any
substances from being used as a potential source of medicine.
