Online published on 29 August, 2023. Abstract The birthplace of the Ayurvedic medical system has been the Indian subcontinent. Ayurveda treats clinical disorders like sinusitis, cough, nervousness, and sleeplessness in humans by employing natural healing techniques. Ayurvedic components and medicines are also widely used in personal care items, health supplements, and some drugs for the treatment of chronic diseases. In animals, Ayurveda formulations are used as drug formulations, insecticides, pesticides, acaricides, and also as feed supplements. Increasing income, growing interest in wellness, preference for herbal products, and the availability of quality AYUSH products are driving the Ayurveda sector in India. People are choosing more and more herbal products for human use as well as animal feed and medicines. The Ayurveda market in India is expanding due to the traditions that have gained widespread acceptability for herbal remedies and Ayurvedic treatments. Growing public knowledge of the advantages of Ayurvedic products, growing incidences of chronic ailments, ease of access, affordability, expansion of medical tourism worldwide, more awareness of the negative effects of allopathy, and growing knowledge of the advantages of Ayurvedic medicines are also driving the Ayurvedic market expansion. As of now, Ayurveda remedies have been incorporated into general wellness practices world wide and, to some extent, into the medical treatment of humans and animals.
