About Journal
The journal,  Ayurveda, Pharmacy and Integrative Medical Research (APIMR) is an international research journal specifically designed to bridge the gap between traditional Ayurvedic wisdom and modern pharmaceutical sciences.

The scope of APIMR is broad, covering the intersection of traditional AYUSH systems and contemporary scientific methods:

  • Ayurvedic Research: Studies on basic principles (Siddhanta), ancient compendia (Samhita), and their application in modern healthcare.

  • Pharmaceutical Sciences: Advanced research in Ayurvedic Pharmacy, including:

    • Drug Standardization: Ensuring the quality, safety, and reproducibility of herbal formulations.

    • Phytochemistry & Pharmacognosy: Investigating the chemical composition of herbs and their distinct biological effects on the body.

    • Drug Delivery Systems: Modernizing the delivery of traditional medicines for better efficacy.

  • Integrative Medical Research: Exploring collaborative models between Ayurveda and biomedicine to manage chronic diseases (e.g., Diabetes, Cancer) and improve mental health through "Psycho Veda".

  • Entrepreneurship & Management: Unique to this journal's backing, it also covers healthcare management, focusing on production-related problems and business prospects for Ayurvedic entrepreneurs.

  • Clinical & Experimental Studies: Original clinical trials, case reports, and research on single herbs using current scientific knowledge such as GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) and GCP (Good Clinical Practices).
