Ancient Science of Life

Explore, Engage, Enlighten: Learning beyond text books

Ancient Science of Life, a peer-reviewed journal, was specifically founded to bridge the gap between Ayurveda and contemporary medical science. The journal meets the demand for research papers grounded on both Ayurvedic principles and scientific approaches. Ayurveda has maintained its popularity in this modern age due to the success of its practitioners in treating a wide range of illnesses.
However, the absence of evidence confirming the safety and effectiveness of these practices, as well as a lack of scientific evaluation, prevent Ayurveda from being widely accepted as a reliable medical system. The magazine journal aims to change that with scientific papers that explain the workings of Ayurvedic medicines and related research data.
