Background: Globalization of Ayurveda has caused Ayurveda pharmaceutics to go through a rapid revolutionary phase as the standardization of drug formulations has become crucial for quality assurance. A lot of efforts are being taken up in this direction of standardizing the formulations in Ayurveda. The present study was carried out to standardize one such Ayurveda formulation, which is not reported till date. Aim: The aim was to document the organoleptic, microscopic, physicochemical, phytochemical, nutraceutical, and high-performance thin-layer chromatography profile of Abhayadi Avaleha (AA). Materials and Methods: AA was subjected to organoleptic and microscopic characterization, followed by analytical study comprising physicochemical, phytochemical, nutraceutical, and high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) profiles. Results: Microscopic evaluation revealed the presence of starch grains, acicular crystals, group of fibers, sclereids, stone cells, and epicarp cells. Physicochemical analysis revealed loss on drying value as 5.62% w/w, ash value as 1.74% w/w, water soluble extractive value as 43.17% w/w, alcohol soluble extractive value as 36.88% w/w, and pH value as 6.5. Phytochemical analysis showed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, and tannins in the finished product. In nutraceutical analysis, total proteins (4.82%), total fats (0.5%), total carbohydrates (70.48%), total sugars (48%), and crude fibers (2.5%) were estimated. Acid-neutralizing capacity of AA was found to be 1.3 mEq/g. HPTLC fingerprinting exhibited five peaks (Rf values 0.02, 0.06, 0.68, 0.80, and 0.94) at 254 nm and two peaks (Rf values 0.02 and 0.94) at 366 nm by densitometry. Conclusion: The preliminary data evolved in the present study will be beneficial for a routine quality control of AA and will also help in further standardization of this drug.

Museums are the pride of any nation. Museum laws govern art, history, war, medical history, ethnography, etc. State-owned and private museums depict the priority they enjoy. Whole life events either stuffed or in various forms are showcased here, which makes everyone contemplates about nature just as Ayurveda in its glory. Museums in India find itself in a high pedestal. Ayurveda, the ancient holistic science suitable even to the next generation includes all those that could be represented in museums. Raw, fresh, or dry preserved flora, fauna, and all aspects of changes in the environment, geology, entomology, and many more need to be included here. A review of the exhibits is discussed and examples analogous to Ayurveda are given to create extensive cognizance in the public.

Oriental libraries and temples carry invaluable heritage not only for religious purposes but also to carry art, sculpture, and scientific innovations craved. Knowledge tourism based on geoclimatic variation concepts in various parts of the world shall have a huge impact in empathetically acknowledging Ayurveda globally. Biodiversity hot spots, climate changes, and zero-carbon nations are some important facets that every individual needs to understand, accept, and adopt to ensure a better world in the future. Virtual Ayurveda museums could be the next generation of the revolutionary movement to create health, happiness, and global peace.

India's rich traditional knowledge, especially related to AYUSH and local health traditions, is invaluable and relevant for all times. To address the growing needs for systematic evaluation and evidence, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has been pursuing focused R&D efforts in the areas not just related to traditional medicines but also towards its co-optation and integration with contemporary modern sciences. Stakeholder cooperation towards deriving success in these inter-disciplinary sciences in important. The article narrates the diverse R&D activities of the CSIR in traditional medicines and integrative health research, and how the CSIR along with its long standing partner, Ministry of Ayush, has been creating benchmarks in this domain.

While systems of natural medicine are well-accepted by patients and doctors in Europe, Ayurveda is not generally acknowledged as a Medical Act. State regulations for applying Ayurvedic medicine vary from country to country and there are also major legal obstacles for Indian Ayurveda doctors who want to practice in Europe. However, with its holistic approach, which responds to the needs of the individual, Ayurveda seems to fill a gap in the European health system. Hence the patients' demand for effective natural medicine may become a driving force for Ayurveda in Europe, along with quality training of local health professionals and safe Ayurvedic medicines.

In the last 50 years, there has been a significant movement in Latin America to introduce Ayurveda in the region, which has led today to the presence of ayurvedic therapy centers and ayurvedic providers in all their countries. The growth that Ayurveda has achieved is currently manifested by its recognition as a medical system within the national health systems of Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, and Nicaragua.At the academic level, in Argentina the first university postgraduate courses were taught at a state university in the West. Nowadays in Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia, Ayurveda courses are taught at the university level or with recognition from higher associations or from the local Ministry of Education. Considering the therapeutic resources, a considerable number of medicinal plants included in the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India or in relevant documents of the Ministry of Ayush are available in the region either grown locally or cultivated at agro-industrial level. A larger number is available by prescription from professionals through pharmacies. There is a market for those plants used by Ayurveda through digital channels which must be evaluated for quality. Different initiatives of the Ministry of Ayush show its continuous and growing commitment that will help the further growth and official establishment of Ayurveda throughout the region.

AYUSH Wellness Centre (AWC), President Estate was started as a joint initiative of the Ministry of Ayush and the President's Secretariat with treatment facilities in Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy. It was inaugurated on July 25, 2015, in the President's Estate and is catering to the medical needs of the President, Officials of the President's Secretariat, and residents of the President's Estate. It is a step to take forward the vision of Government of India (GOI) to encourage the Indian Systems of Medicine and Homoeopathy. Over the 7 years of its functioning, AWC has endeavored to bring to fruition the recommendations mentioned in National AYUSH Mission and National Health Policy. AWC has become a precursor to many such clinics in different government departments and AIIMS across the country. This article presents the impact, experiences, and future recommendations from the initiative of AWC.
