Ayurvedic Medicine: A Complementary Path in Modern Sports Medicine

Abstract

Emphasizing it’s possible to improve athletic performance, encourage recovery, and avoid injuries, this research investigates how Ayurvedic medicine may be included into contemporary sports medicine. Ayurvedic techniques include herbal medicines (e.g., Ashwagandha, Turmeric), Panchakarma therapy, and yoga have been demonstrated to lower inflammation, increase flexibility, and hasten muscle healing. Presenting a more complete and individualized approach to athlete care, the report emphasizes the advantages of combining these standard therapies with physiotherapy and cryotherapy. The absence of consistent methods and the necessity of more thorough clinical research make the integration difficult even with the favorable results. Large-scale clinical investigations should be the main emphasis of further research to confirm the effectiveness of Ayurvedic therapies in sports environments. This combination gives players the chance to reach ideal physical and mental health, therefore opening the path for a more balanced and environmentally friendly sporting career.
