In spite of incredible advances in modern science, technology and allopathic medicine a large we are unable to provide quality healthcare to all. Traditional medicine particularly herbal medicine considered as a major healthcare provider around the globe particularly in rural and remote areas. A large section of people depends on such medicine for their primary healthcare mainly in underdeveloped or developing countries. Indian traditional medicinal system like Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani has a very rich history of their effectiveness; modern research also acknowledged the importance of such medicine. Indian traditional medicine or medicinal plants are also considered as a vital source of new drug. Mainstreaming of such medicine is important for the people. Several steps have been taken in India to promote such medicine and to integrate them into clinical practice. Evidence based incorporation of Indian traditional medicine in clinical practice will help to provide quality healthcare to all.
尽管现代科学、技术和对抗疗法取得了令人难以置信的进步，但我们仍无法为所有人提供优质的医疗保健服务。传统医学，尤其是草药医学，被视为全球主要的医疗保健提供者，特别是在农村和偏远地区。很大一部分人主要在不发达国家或发展中国家依靠这类药物来获得基本医疗保健。印度传统医学体系，如阿育吠陀医学、悉达医学和尤那尼医学，在其有效性方面有着非常丰富的历史；现代研究也认可这类药物的重要性。印度传统医学或药用植物也被视为新药的重要来源。将这类药物纳入主流对人们来说很重要。印度已经采取了若干措施来推广这类药物并将它们融入临床实践。将印度传统医学基于证据地纳入临床实践将有助于为所有人提供优质的医疗保健服务。
