Abstract

In the contemporary healthcare landscape, the integration of Ayurvedic and modern medicine represents a promising approach to enhance patient outcomes and address complex medical challenges. This paper explores the scope and applications of combining these two systems, emphasizing their complementary strengths. Ayurvedic medicine, with its holistic perspective and natural remedies, offers preventive and personalized care rooted in centuries of empirical practice. Modern medicine, characterized by advanced technology and evidence-based interventions, provides critical diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities. By examining current research, we illustrate how integrative practices can improve the management of chronic diseases, enhance patient quality of life, and promote sustainable healthcare solutions. Furthermore, the paper discusses the potential for collaborative research, education, and policy-making to support the harmonization of these medical systems. Our findings underscore the need for an open, interdisciplinary approach to healthcare that respects and utilizes the diverse strengths of both Ayurvedic and modern medical traditions.
