Abstract

Ayurveda was predominant in Kerala and most of the other parts of India for a long period. But foreign invasion and the subsequent propagation of allopathic medicine made Ayurveda very weak in importance. But newly developed fear of the side effects and long term ill effects of allopathic medicines coupled with inefficiency to combat a large number of deceases have brought the attention not only to Kerala and India but also to the biologically based medicines. A large number of new organizations in India are entering the area of ayurvedic medicines manufacturing. The curiosity of the world is too high and the research and development taking place all over the world in the area of this science is very strong. Obviously it is the golden era of this science. Companies like Dabur and Himalaya are as strong as any allopathic medicines company. A large number of allopathic medicine manufacturing companies have started including ayurvedic medicines in this production list.

Another area of gaining prominent and worldwide attention is herbal cosmetics. The growth of the world market in herbal cosmetics is amazing.

Apart from ayurvedic medicines which is based on the traditional Indian system of diagnosis and treatment, a large number of herbal medicines are also available in world market. In fact the growth of the market share of these products suppresses the growth of ayurvedic market by several times.
