“ Among all the tests (or proofs) the test of the time is the most challenging. Survival of the fittest – Ayurveda has survived the test of the time – not for a few centuries (as in the case of other medical systems) but for thousands of years – for millennia altogether! Which medical system has survived the test of the time, more than Ayurveda? ”

“ Therefore, we have to conclude that `revealed knowledge’ was continuously enriched by experimentation along with the appropriate hypothesis, which can be generalized into the laws of science when supported by `proof’. What is the `proof’ in a medical science such as `Ayurveda’? The proof is its efficacy – the treatment – the cure or prevention of a disease or malady. We all know that Ayurveda indeed works – the treatment has its beneficial results – even today. Ayurveda is the oldest medical system of the world, which works even today – The therapy and cure are universally known. ”
