Number of drugs are entered the International Pharmacopoeia through the study of ethno pharmacology and traditional medicine. For Ayurveda and other traditional medicines, newer guidelines of standardization, manufacture and quality control are required. Drug discovery strategies based on natural products and traditional medicines are the attractive options. Drug discovery and development need not always be restricted to new molecular entities. Traditional knowledge give an idea for drug development can fallow reverse pharmacology approach and reduce the time and cost of process are expected to takes place mainly from innovation in drug target elucidation and lead structure discovery. Powerful new technologies such as automated separation techniques, high- throughput screening and combinational chemistry are revolutionizing drug discovery. Traditional knowledge can offer smart strategy for new drug candidates to facilitate discovery process and also for the development of rational synergistic botanical formulations.
