Ayurveda describes health as harmony between body, mind, emotions, and spirituality. It interprets illness as a symptom and result of disharmony. It is a system that is increasingly becoming an object of interest for people around the world. It is a way for healthy people looking for methods of prevention and patients looking for natural ways to heal. The regulatory requirements for its formulations have been a major challenge. Some regulations for Ayurveda are clubbed together with those of other systems of medicine, for ex-ample, Siddha, Unani, and Homeopathy due to their similarity, but the official books relevant to the Ayurvedic systems of medicine are separately compiled and conserved. Ayurveda does not prohibit anything, it does not act invasively or aggressively, and in the treatment of ailments it uses all naturally occurring bioactive substances, which, for example, in Western countries are associated with \"functional food\" or \"dietary supplements\". In order to increase the quality and reliability of Ayurvedic formulations, various councils and departments under these ministries have been laying the foundation of standards and protocols as per the demands of regulatory au-thorities. The direct or indirect connection among the different Ministries of India governing the regulations for the production, standardization, and development of Ayurvedic formulations has also been viewed. Improvement in quality parameters has a higher level of acceptance of ayur-vedic formulations. It has amplified the market size of the ayurvedic pharmaceutical industry. The synchronisation of various regulations in India could emerge as a powerful tool in establish-ing a novel platform for the whole world in the manufacturing and development of ayurvedic formulations for the benefit of mankind.","PeriodicalId":367098,"journal":{"name":"Current Nutraceuticals","volume":"30 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139273909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They consist of a mixture of different molecules, generally terpenes, and can be extracted from many parts of plants, such as leaves, buds, flowers, seeds, bark, roots, twigs, herbs, wood, and fruits. Several methods of extracting essential oils are available, including conventional methods and advanced techniques, each with its advantages and disadvantages. As a result, advanced methods are more suitable than conventional ones due to their environmental friendliness, high yield and efficiency, shorter extraction time, and low energy consumption. Further, essential oils possess antimicrobial properties due to the high concentration of chemical compounds that act through a variety of mechanisms, resulting in a synergistic action. Due to their antimicrobial properties, essential oils could play a role in maintaining food security by inhibiting the growth and proliferation of microorganisms in food. However, their low water solubility, as well as their instability, limit their application.
