Evidence based studies of ayurveda

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

 

I'm about to promote ayurveda, in the Aland Islands of Finland, to local

health professionals.

These people wonder if there are any studies which can be evidence based in

ayurveda, so they can get a firmer grip on ayurveda and it's effectiveness.

Evidence based I think means, to these people, studies which follow the

western medicine paradigm of doing research with tests which can be

measured, tested and verified by different people in different locations.

I guess any study will do as long as it is promoting ayurveda. Means that it

could be about plants, pancakarma or you name it, as long as you could

connect the word ayurveda to it.

 

I have myself started to look around but if anyone knows where to find these

kind of studies and/or can point me a direction to look, I would be most

happy.

 

Yours Sincerely,

Kristian

Dear Dr.Kristian,

Well , your point is quite interesting & valid too ! You will be surprised to

know that there are hundreds of students are doing there post graduation Degree

like M.D.(Ayurveda) or M.S.(Ayurveda ) or Ph.D. (Ayurveda) with a specific

research topic with a carefully planned protocol & planned clinical studies or

it might involve lab studies / studies in expt. pharmacology concerned with

Ayurvedic drugs / therapies.

I will send you ref. of certain such work in next few days ! You may start with

reviewing certain bibliographic work on different topics concerning Ayurveda !

Please go thro' my site www.ayurvision , visit Ayurvision bulletin to see

certain articles on similar topic.

With warm regards,

Dr.Aashish Phadke,Mumbai,INDIA

Re evidence based studies: I am interested in doing research on this- there

are some studies in BMJ and JAMA that were referenced by Dr Nagendra of

SVYASA in Bangalore - I will try to find those and forward them on the

group.
