In order to standardize and globalize traditional medicines, Dr. R. A. Mashelkar, then Director General of CSIR, India while making recommendation after a national seminar on Ayurveda held at Chitrakoot in 2005 suggested a Golden Triangle consisting of traditional medicine, modern science and modern medicine. An earnest step in this regard is currently going on in selected twenty CSIR Laboratories in India along with a number of institutions in the private sector working on traditional medicine such as, Kottakkal Arya Vaidyasala. Currently, under CSIR’s New Millennium India Technology Leadership Initiative (NMITLI) programme, several scientists have been working on establishing pharmaco epidemiological evidence-base to Ayurvedic medicines, practices and development of standardized herbal formulations. Randomized, controlled clinical trials for rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, liver diseases, diabetes, hypolipidemia, Parkinson’s disease and many other ailments have been established.
