One of the most well-known ancient medical systems that has endured and thrived for decades is ayurveda. The vast knowledge of nature-based medicine, the relationship between the structure and function of the human body and nature, and the elements of the cosmos that interact and have an impact on living things ensure that this system will continue to thrive for centuries to come. The field’s researchers, practitioners, and experts, who are charged with preserving and fostering the future development of traditional systems of medicine (TSMs), still have a lot of opportunities to investigate.

However, there is a gap in the sharing of information from systems around the world because of numerous hurdles, including a lack of literary sources in other languages and a lack of knowledge about the fundamental ideas and histories of systems from various ethnic origins. When accompanied by the collaborative work of researchers from various countries, knowledge of systems from various ethnic origins would promote knowledge exchange and increase understanding of various systems, and this could ultimately contribute to integration and advancement of herbal drug research.
When one learns about the systems, the principles, and the histories, and tries to strengthen the qualities that are shared by the numerous TSMs, these futuristic goals can be achieved. To support the aforementioned viewpoints, it has been attempted to present the foundational concept and history of Ayurveda in this review.
There have been several reviews of Ayurveda to date. However, very few studies go into great length into the fundamental ideas and background of Ayurveda.

The history of Ayurveda dates back to the second century BC. The ancient schools of Hindu philosophy known as Vaisheshika and the school of logic known as Nyaya formed the groundwork for ayurveda. It was founded at the same time as the Nyaya and Vaisheshika schools of thought, and it is connected to the manifestation framework known as Samkhya.
