Much before mankind learnt about life sciences, much before any other discipline of medicine could even be conceived, one discipline of life science had evolved into a complete treatise on prevention and cure of human elements.

More than 5000 years ago, in India originated a science by the name Ayurveda - `Ayu` meaning life and Veda meaning dealing in essence, for the the maintenance of physical, mental, social and spiritual health of an individual. A life science that aimed at prevention as much as cure, it soon came to find favour in whole of Asia as well as Middle East, Turkey, Greece and Egypt. Ayurveda is an understanding of the remedial powers of nature and all Ayurvedic formulations are made from extracts of herbs, fruits, seeds, roots, gum, flowers and latex.

It is only with the advent of synthetic chemicals that we come to hear of side effects and after effects, something that Ayurvedic formulations do not suffice for. While many may find it surprising, Ayurveda which we know today, is essentially the same science that reached its summit thousand of years ago. It must also be a revelation to most that the text of this treatise is a well researched account of remedial powers of nature on our planet, preserved in Atharvaveda, one of the five holy books of Hindu descent, Pandit Ramnarayan Sharma an illustrious practitioner of Ayurveda, made a small beginning by starting the manufacture of Ayurvedic medicines at Baidyanath Dham in Bihar in the year 1917, and then pioneered a large scale production of Ayurvedic formulations at-:

Kolkata in 1921
Patna in 1940
Jhansi in 1941
Nagpur in 1942
Allahabad in 1958
under the flagship of Shree Baidyanath Ayurved Bhawan and this expansion did not prove sufficient and a new works came up at Baddi (Solan) H.P. in the year 1995, New plants now exist at Barotiwala (H.P.) Kashipur (U.K.) and Seoni (M.P.).

Ayurveda had truly entered the new age with the advent of modern methodologies that allow for Pharmacognocy and clinical research, and Baidyanath since added a new dimension to this ages old science by standardizing old formulations and evolving newer ones.
