Ethical Practice of Ayurvedic Medicines: A Mixed-Methods Study of Practitioner Knowledge, Attitudes, and Systemic Safeguards

Author(s)	Dr. mukesh kumar
Country	India
Abstract	Ayurvedic medicine is widely used in India and globally. Expansion of use highlights ethical issues — standards of education and practice, transparency of evidence and advertising, patient informed consent, pharmacovigilance, and commercialization. International and national frameworks (WHO benchmarks; India’s AYUSH pharmacovigilance programs and NCISM regulations) guide practice, but empirical data on how ethics are implemented at the clinician and institutional level are limited.
