Abstract
The Ayurveda provides the cornerstone of India's ancient medical science.

This book will present the post classical period including the application of modem scientific analytical tools for standardization, modern pharmacological tools for safety and efficacy evaluation, and the application of biotechnology to elicit the mechanism of drug actions--Provided by publisher.
