As Ayurveda gains global recognition, Dravyaguna’s relevance in modern healthcare becomes increasingly significant. This article explores the role of Dravyaguna in contemporary Ayurvedic practice, examining its integration with modern medical systems. Through a discussion of key herbs and their therapeutic properties, we highlight how Dravyaguna serves as a bridge between ancient wisdom and current healthcare needs. The potential of Dravyaguna to contribute to holistic, personalized medicine in the modern context is also discussed.
