This fact is broadly validated that Ayurveda cures chronic diseases such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, asthma and hepatitis etc for which the modern i. e. allopathic system of medicine has no permanent cure. However there are less scientific studies were carried out to know the science behind the success of Ayurvedic treatment i.e. pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Ayurveda drugs. It is reported that death rate with cancer is on the rise, by 6% every year in a country even in United State of America where best medical care is available to treat cancer patients. This becomes a necessity that world scientific community should consider for a strategy for ‘drug development programme’ so that safe and cheap medicines could be made available for treatment of cancer and other chronic diseases. An integrated approach is needed to manage cancer using the growing body of knowledge gained through scientific developments. Thousands of herbal and traditional compounds are being screened worldwide to validate their use as anti-cancerous drugs. The science of Ayurveda is supposed to add a step on to the curative aspects of cancers that have resemblance.
