Science is exploring ways to control and cure the diseases with the help of advancements in technology but the challenge is still persisting because of springing up of newer diseases, and also the relapse of old ones in a modified and worsened form Ayurveda needs to be subjected to the acid test of scientific scrutiny. There is an urgent need to develop methods of evaluation outside the purview of modern science or scientific methods could be reviewed to make it more appropriate for Ayurveda. In Ayurveda, the success of treatment completely depends upon four factors, termed as Chikitsa Chatushpada among which drug is second important factor after physician. Thus selection of a proper drug in the management of disease is very important.
