Editing Ayurveda: Bridging Traditional Wisdom and Modern Healthcare Needs (section)

==== '''Criteria for Acceptance in Ayurveda''' ====
Ayurveda has looked at the whole and given some criteria for what should be accepted. Anything that is 'parikṣaī parikṣitaḥ' — thoroughly verified or investigated, akin to what we today refer to as well-researched — should aim to be 'lokānugrahapravṛttaha,' benefiting all. It should also be in alignment with 's̀āstravādaha āptagama' meaning it adheres to principles and knowledge validated by scriptures. All such practices or principles that are well-researched and beneficial to society, while aligning with the wisdom of the Śāstras, are indeed valuable and contribute positively to society.
