Abstract:
Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine, offers holistic solutions to modern health challenges by addressing the root causes of illness. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in integrating Ayurveda with modern scientific approaches through interdisciplinary research to explore synergies and uncover novel insights for healthcare advancements. Cell line studies are emerging as a pivotal tool in this effort. These studies facilitate the exploration of the molecular mechanisms underlying Ayurvedic principles and formulations, offering valuable insights into their therapeutic efficacy. This review article evaluates the role of cell line studies in bridging the gap between ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and modern scientific understanding. It provides an overview of existing research on cell line studies of Ayurvedic medicines, exploring their effectiveness, identifying key herbs and formulations studied, discussing clinical and pharmacological findings, addressing challenges and future directions, and emphasizing the importance of scientific validation when integrating Ayurveda into conventional healthcare.
