Laws, Procedures & Rules for Ayurvedic & Herbal Companies in India

India, which is the second most populous country in the world, has been renowned to have rich health and medical sciences, a few of which date back to several thousand years ago. Since the 1970’s, the government has been giving a professional recognition to practitioners of different medical systems. Among these medical systems, Ayurveda is the oldest, which is being practiced at a wide scale and initially originated in India. Since the last few decades, there has been a steady growth in the sale of Ayurvedic medicine product due to different factors such as the failure of western alopathic medicine, the need for permanent curability, and the minimum side effects, etc. Furthermore, these medicines are more affordable as compared to the cures which can be sourced to western medical systems. Considering the above reasons, there has been an immense growth in the setting up of different pharmaceutical labs and businesses dealing in Ayurvedic Medicine. This sector of the market functions under the purview of the Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) which is endowed with the responsibility of the research and the propagation of certain alternative medical systems in India.
