The potential of Ayurvedic medicine needs to be explored further with modern scientific validation approaches for better therapeutic leads. Aim of the study The present study was aimed to explore the various aspects of Ayurveda and inspired drug discovery approaches for its promotion and development. Materials and methods We have reviewed all the literature related to the history and application of Ayurvedic herbs. Various aspects for the quality control, standardization, chemo-profiling, and metabolite fingerprinting for quality evaluation of Ayurvedic drugs. The development of Ayurvedic drugs is gaining momentum with the perspectives of safety, efficacy and quality for promotion and management of human health.
