Revolutionizing Āyurveda: Harnessing Local Drug Delivery to Unite Ancient Wisdom with Cutting-Edge Technology for Globalization
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: A bstract Integrating ancient wisdom with modern technology offers transformative possibilities for global healthcare. Āyurveda , the Indian system of medicine, provides a treasure trove of natural remedies and holistic approaches to health. However, its globalization has been hindered by challenges in standardization, delivery, and efficacy in contemporary medical frameworks. Local drug delivery (LDD) systems present a novel avenue to bridge this gap, combining traditional Ayurvedic principles with advanced biomedical technologies to enhance precision and effectiveness. This approach leverages targeted drug delivery mechanisms, such as nanoparticles, hydrogels, and bioengineered platforms, to ensure the controlled release and localized action of Ayurvedic formulations. By addressing issues such as bioavailability and dose optimization, these systems amplify the therapeutic potential of Āyurveda medicine while aligning with modern regulatory and quality standards. Furthermore, integrating these methods into global healthcare systems fosters credibility and accessibility, paving the way for Āyurveda ’s acceptance on a worldwide scale. This article explores the synergy between Āyurveda and LDD technologies, highlighting potential advancements that could revolutionize personalized medicine. It underscores the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration in creating sustainable and impactful healthcare solutions, uniting ancient traditions and cutting-edge science for a global audience.
