There is an urgent need to find out an efficient plan for healthy dietary habit so as to ensure better health for this society.

              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.
