Ayurveda or "the sacred knowledge of longevity" has been practiced in India and many Asian countries since time immemorial. Interest in Ayurveda started growing all over the world in the late 1970s, following the Alma Ata Declaration adopted by the W.H.O. in 1978. Ayurveda in the New Millennium: Emerging Roles and Future Challenges attempts to survey the progress made in this field and to formulate a course of action to take Ayurveda through the new millennium. It also identifies the many stumbling blocks that need to be removed if Ayurveda is to cater to the needs of a wider audience.

"This book covers scientific aspects of Ayurvedic medicine from past to present and beyond. The material is dense, and each chapter begins with a table of contents for ease of reference. The author and contributors include a trove of past research and information making the case for the quality of this book. It is not merely a rehashing of previous work, but a connector between past work and what is possible in the future"
