A recent advisory (F. No. Z.25023- 10912018-DCC (AYUSH) dated 2 April 2019) issued by the Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH), Government of India expresses concerns regarding the publication of research papers and scientific studies on AYUSH drugs and treatments ‘by non-AYUSH scientists/ researchers with unfounded statements and conclusions to damage the credibility and sanctity of the whole system’ because ‘qualified AYUSH experts were not involved/consulted in these studies and research publications’. This advisory further states: ‘potential and scope of AYUSH in public healthcare cannot be jeopardized and the people may not be distracted or dissuaded from resorting to AYUSH from arbitrary statements and unfounded conclusions in the scientific studies and research publications related to AYUSH’. The advisory therefore states: ‘all non-AYUSH researchers, scientists, institutions and editors of the medical/scientific journals are hereby advised to involve appropriate Expert/ Institution/Research Council of AYUSH in conducting any scientific study/ clinical trial/research intervention to explore AYUSH drug or treatment and for vetting of the publication of its outcomes and findings to prevent incorrect, arbitrary and ambiguous statements and conclusions about AYUSH’.
