description It is common to hear a general statement that Ayurveda lacks scientific evidence. By scientific evidence, it is commonly referred to results of human clinical trials undertaken adoring those applied to pharmaceuticals, involving randomized controlled trials (RCT), either a placebo or active controlled. This paper explores the actual situation related to practice of Ayurveda, use of medicines, application of therapies, and the individual dravyas (ingredients). It gives few examples and availability of large body of scientific data in this area. The study, however, does not discuss the reasons and problems of conducting RCTs.
