A comprehensive pharmacopoeia from Ayurveda literature

OSADHI (Office for Standardization of Ayurvedic Drugs and Herbs Initiative) is an initiative aimed at building a comprehensive pharmacopoeia by carefully collating and indexing information from classical Ayurvedic literature. One of the major initiatives of AVTAR through the OSADHI research program is the meticulous compilation of the Classical Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia. This marathon attempt involves carefully compiling, collating, and correlating information on drugs found in classical Ayurvedic literature.

In this process, drug identities and nomenclature are being standardized both within and across texts. The information is organized under four major categories:
    1. Nomenclature
    2. Properties
    3. Actions
    4. Applications
This database will provide systematic access to the historical use of herbs and drugs in the Ayurvedic tradition with unprecedented accuracy and precision.

Quick Reference Software Tool for Classical Formulations

The OSADHI research program also has a quick reference software tool for the major classical formulations used in current Ayurvedic clinical practice. This tool will serve as a one-stop reference for Ayurveda practitioners, providing information on both the formulations and the individual ingredients used in these formulations.

Quality Assurance and Standards of Ayurvedic Medicines

With the assistance of the Drug Laboratory, researchers involved in the OSADHI research initiative are also focusing on quality assurance and the standards of Ayurvedic medicines manufactured at the Ayurvedic Trust Hospital Instant Medicine Unit. This ensures that the medicines meet high standards of safety and efficacy.

OSADHI is also investigating the safety of Ayurvedic formulations used in ongoing clinical practice. This effort is based on feedback obtained from physicians, ensuring that the formulations remain safe for patient use.
