Ayurveda is a science of life with a holistic approach to health and personalized medicine. It is one of the oldest medical systems, which comprises thousands of medical concepts and hypothesis. Interestingly, Ayurveda has ability to treat many chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and asthma, which are untreatable in modern medicine. Unfortunately, due to lack of scientific validation in various concepts, this precious gift from our ancestors is trailing. Hence, evidence-based research is highly needed for global recognition and acceptance of Ayurveda, which needs further advancements in the research methodology. The present review highlights various fields of research including literary, fundamental, drug, pharmaceutical, and clinical research in Ayurveda. The review further focuses to improve the research methodology for Ayurveda with main emphasis on the fundamental research. This attempt will certainly encourage young researchers to work on various areas of research for the development and promotion of Ayurveda.
阿育吠陀是一门关于生命的科学，采用整体健康观和个性化医疗方法。它是最古老的医学体系之一，包含数千个医学概念和假说。有趣的是，阿育吠陀有能力治疗许多慢性病，如癌症、糖尿病、关节炎和哮喘，而这些疾病在现代医学中是无法治愈的。不幸的是，由于各种概念缺乏科学验证，我们祖先的这份珍贵礼物正逐渐被忽视。因此，为了阿育吠陀能在全球获得认可和接受，基于证据的研究非常必要，这需要在研究方法上进一步改进。本综述重点介绍了阿育吠陀在文献、基础、药物、制药和临床研究等各个研究领域的情况。该综述进一步致力于改进阿育吠陀的研究方法，主要侧重于基础研究。这一尝试必将鼓励年轻研究人员在阿育吠陀的各个研究领域开展工作，以促进其发展和推广。
