Age-old wisdom and Modern Biotechnology Convergence

Ayur like a hand-full other entities is utilizing its biotechnological expertise in developing plant-based therapeutics and nutraceuticals in conjunction with the age-old wisdom in health and traditional medicines. Ayur uses its rigorous R&D methodologies and assays systems to re-confirm effectiveness of the natural herbs.

Organization uses its proprietary formulation technologies in producing herbal supplements that synergistically enhance body's structure -function and helps people to enjoy good health and sound spirit.

There are thousands of products from thousands of manufactures across the internet space and physical vitamin stores. Many of these products have strong anecdotal evidence and grandmother's testimonial of century old usages. Some of those products do provide useful support to the body's structure-function. However, many of those products fall short on holistic-wellness aspect.

Natural Products Drug Discovery Processes

Roughly 60-70% of all drugs used in pharmaceutical industry today had origins of plants. These drugs were synthesized for mass production. In a natural product drug-discovery process, researchers in a biotechnology laboratory first extract the herbs and then fractionate the extracts using separation columns or other methodologies.

In the next step, research scientists perform multiple assays to identify, which fraction is most effective and which fraction is non-toxic to the cells (body). After that they try to identify how many molecules in those fractions and what are the formulas of the molecule. And then go on to see if they can make them chemically for commercial-economical reasons. This is in short (very short) depiction of pharmaceutical drug development based on traditional herbal knowledge.

Folk medicines though are very popular, are neither exploited properly nor documented scientifically in the past. Past decades or so, various organizations and governmental agencies took notice of the importance of traditional medicines, and devoted resources and initiatives to streamline information on traditional medicines. What lack in these efforts and activities are THE ENTREPRENEURIAL drives - an Application drive.

Yes, entrepreneurial drives to revive this rich and safe technology are absolutely necessary. Ayur is one of the pioneers in this arena. Proper utilization of our herbal resources and wisdom associated with that is possible only through systematic scientific studies. Ayur is doing in the smallest way possible.

Body Function

The human body made of billions of cells and each cell is capable of living and regenerating itself for a long time - provided it is not challenged by the environments - internal and external. Internal environment is mostly control by the immune system that sometimes triggered by the external stimuli such as chemicals, radiation, pollutants, food, germs - virus, bacteria; and emotional (mind) status. Time - the aging process also contributes to the immune system's functionality.

One can keep the cell functions active and proper by managing the surrounding environment, keeping sound emotional health and working with the immune system. One can achieve most of the above requirement by being in a good social and political environment, regular exercise and a well-balanced food regime. If one can do that, they may not need any pharmaceuticals and/or nutraceuticals.

Body is in perfect balance within the internal cell-environment and with the external environment. If these balance moves to words the non-equilibrium side, one begin to see or feel physical and/or emotional difficulties. It is, therefore, important to bring the body's cell system to the equilibrium (balanced) state. If one keeps all the body's structure-function in the balanced state, s/he will seldom feel any physical or emotional difficulties.

Body's Structure-function Systems

Several important systems that work perfectly in a balanced environment are: Immune system, hormonal system (endocrine), nerve system, and blood and circulatory system.

Scientific communities have been studying immune system imbalance most extensively because the immune system accounts for many of the diseases directly and indirectly. The immune system also controls part of the aging process. Some of the health issues due to immune system imbalance are Autoimmune diseases (arthritis, rheumatism, and diabetes), Pathogenic Infections, Inflammation, Allergic reactions, Atopy-eczema, and Asthma.

The Endocrine system is another system that draws great interest from the research and business community. Imbalance of this system quite often associated with the environmental factors such as stress, anxiety, work-pressure and aging. The endocrine system also varies with gender. Some physiological syndromes may arise due to the imbalance of the endocrine system are Sleeping problems, Mood-Imbalance, Emotional-Status, Menopause, PMS, Prostate Enlargement and Urinary problems.
