We suggest that drug discovery and development need not always be confined to new molecular entities. Rationally designed, carefully standardized, synergistic traditional herbal formulations and botanical drug products with robust scientific evidence can also be alternatives. A reverse pharmacology approach, inspired by traditional medicine and Ayurveda, can offer a smart strategy for new drug candidates to facilitate discovery process and also for the development of rational synergistic botanical formulations.</p>1 aPatwardhan, Bhushan1 aMashelkar, Raghunath, Anant  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/traditional-medicine-inspired-approaches-drug-discovery-can-ayurveda-show-way-forward-0
