Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, despite several invasions, it has sustained its legacy and utility in public domain. The constancy in productive outcomes of Ayurveda treatment is due to the robust and eternal fundamental principles on which the entire Ayurveda system of medicine is based. Explaining the eternity of Ayurveda, Acharya Charaka states that, this science has its roots in Mother Nature (has no beginning), its characteristics are self-evident and the principles dealt in it are eternal. With globalisation, Ayurveda is attracting more attention from international medical community. Numerous research works both from Ayurveda and modern scientific fraternity are being carried out to evaluate importance and applicability of basic principles of Ayurveda and the outcomes of most accomplished research projects indicate these basic principles still possess the same therapeutic importance and applicability as mentioned in ancient texts in current era too. This is because; ancient physicians have postulated the pivotal principles of Ayurvedic therapeutics by using the interminable phenomena existing in the Dravyas (substances) as well as in the universe.
