Alternative Approach to Drug Resistance
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Globalization and corporate interest in traditional system of medicine especially in Ayurveda is now limited only up to discovery of new drugs or molecules of their own interest. The researchers are exploring the traditional medicine to discover new potent effective and safer alternative for the present formulation of allopathic drugs or to incorporate them in modern drug formulation. Ayurveda differs from the conventional system of medicine because of its preventive and systemic approaches rather than target oriented approach. It has huge potential for serving humanity as it almost encompass the every aspect of human life, then why we are trying to limit its knowledge as a resource of safe alternative of modern drugs only. Here we will discuss about non pharmacological aspect of Ayurveda in preventing the diseases and drug resistance challenges.
