Research and Scholarly Output

RESEARCH OVERVIEW (AREAS & OUTCOMES) : The proposed and completed research works primarily focus on the clinical and pre-clinical evaluation of Ayurvedic and herbal formulations in lifestyle and degenerative disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, osteoarthritis, cardiovascular diseases, cholelithiasis, asthma, and diabetic neuropathy. The studies assess therapeutic efficacy, safety, tolerability, and treatment adherence through OPD-based, randomized controlled, and exploratory clinical trial designs. Pre-clinical investigations validate pharmacological actions of herbal leads, while clinical trials generate evidence for disease-specific symptom reduction and metabolic control. Comparative evaluations with standard medications establish the relative effectiveness of Ayurvedic interventions. Overall, the outcomes aim to provide scientific validation, safety profiling, and integrative therapeutic options for chronic non-communicable diseases.
