Ayurveda, Ayurvedic medications, Drugs, Precision medicineAbstract
In Ayurveda, individualized medicine is a common practice although it is new to modern medicine. Ayurvedic science illustrates how two individuals with the same disease might just be treated with different Ayurvedic medications. A single disease can also be treated with customized Ayurvedic medications as it develops and evolves inside a single person. Individualized healthcare is the upcoming approach to providing medical treatment that is tailored to an individual's unique genetic makeup, epigenetic patterns, and clinical data. This enables a clear understanding of their distinct genomic profile and ensures uncompromising medical care. PM (personalized medicine) is a treatment based on the genomic profile of the patients that can influence the response to the drug. One of the strategies in the field of healthcare management PM allows a doctor to choose a medicine based on a patient's genetic profile, avoiding negative side effects and increasing the likelihood of successful treatment. In addition, this will be a more affordable method of treating diseases than the current "trial-and-error" method currently in use.
