Abstract of Paper II
THRUST AREAS IN DRAVYAGUNA RESEARCH
The goal of every health research is to extend the length of
life and to improve its quality of life for the population.It includes basic
translational and applied research.Although Ayurveda has time tested validation
of its principles;there is high need for its standardization of its treatment and
medicines for increasing its acceptance in the global scenario.This is also
essential in cases of herbal drug research as there are lot of issues which
affect the quality of a treatment
outcome right from the procurement of a raw drug to its final output in the
market.This calls for stringent measures of standardization , which will not
only make every research scientifically valid and repeatable but also will
benefit the health quality of the society at large.In the present paper an
effort has been made to describe about the issues surrounding herbal drugs
these days,how to find solutions for the same and in this regard some of the
major works done in the department of Dravyaguna vijnana adhering to the
principles of standardization and its results have been discussed.
