  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>Ayurvedic practice and medicine have been on the upswing since early fifties in India often going parallel with allopathic treatment and healthcare due to promotional policies of the Government. There also is the significant popularity of Ayurveda and other herbal medicine outside India as alternative medicine. This study attempts to review the growth of Ayurveda in India and abroad in its historical perspective and seeks to carry out a comparative assessment of the thrust and priorities of various countries through their patent data on herbal research. It also reviews recent spurt in the globalisation of Ayurveda in different dimensions and growing interest of international institutions in its adoption and integration with mainstream medical practice and education. Finally taking an overview of related patent data and global research efforts on plant-based therapeutics, some vital recommendations are made that can lead India to emerge as an innovation hub for most potent drugs based on its ancient heritage and knowledgebase. A massive multiinstitutional research effort with a significant amount of collaboration with other countries is recommended to stay ahead in global competition in this field.</jats:p>
