Abstract

Ayurveda is an ancient medical science, that fundamentally manages the various disease by using plants and their derivatives. Bone healing is a complex process that needs restoration anatomically and physiologically. Ayurveda holds a rich knowledge of plant and their derivatives which possess certain bioactive compounds which act differently. Due to severe side effects by using synthetically derived compounds which have adverse effects like gastrointestinal bleeding, delayed blood clotting, and treatment lengthening, the use of synthetic compounds and minerals with NSAID on fractured bones also leads to low compliance among patients, alternate medicine is much needed. Earlier due to a lack of scientific studies and standardization of compounds, acceptance was not as per mark for the traditional system of medicine. However, with the rise in traditional practices their usage is also rising along with their reporting of their clinical efficacy creating a new hope to the world however due to lack of scientific support, they are not widely accepted. The article aims to review the available data to support the evaluation of plants described in Ayurveda. Textual literature, online resources, and electronic media are used to collect data. The review concluded that yet more research work has to be carried out with a modern approach to validate with more clarity.
