Abstract	Ayurveda, a traditional school of medicine in the world, is still a significant component of the Indian health culture and is becoming the subject of more global debates on integrative medicine. The Global Traditional Medicine Strategy of World Health Organization 2025-2034 directly promotes the production of evidence, the regulation of safety, and the responsible inclusion of traditional, complementary and integrative medicine within health systems, exactly the right time to review Ayurveda as an important part of modern medicine (World Health Organization [WHO], 2025). In this paper, the elements of Ayurvedic Ayurveda whose tenets, including prakriti (individual constitution), tridosha balance, preventive care, diet and lifestyle, and personalized therapeutics can add to modern-day medical care will be discussed. It states that Ayurveda should not be employed as a substitute to biomedicine; it should be rather a complementary concept reinforcing prevention, chronic illnesses, patient-centered therapy, and holistic medicine. The paper will examine the recent literature on Ayurveda and modern medicine, find parallels with current disciplines of preventive medicine, systems biology, and personalized medicine, and examine the current institutional initiatives in India and elsewhere to integrate Ayurveda and modern medicine. It is also writing about significant challenges, such as quality of evidence, standardization, safety, education, and regulation. The conclusion of the paper is that, with evidence-based, ethically governed, and clinically selective incorporation of Ayurvedic principles, the modern healthcare can be enhanced by addressing its focus on lifestyle, individuality, long-term balance, and health promotion without compromising the rigor of the biomedical diagnosis and acute care (National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health [NCCIH], 2025; Verma et al., 2024; WHO, 2025).
