2. SCIENCE BASED MEDICINE
• Ayurveda is primarily science led evidence
based medicine. So Science Based Medicine of
Ayurveda is an integral part of medical
learning.
• Until today, no standardised steps to practice
Science Based Medicine of Ayurveda in every
day clinical practice is known, developed or
taught in BAMS, MD or PhD curriculum
3. Today SBM is unrecognised by community
• Today, the clinical faculties are not aware of
the principles and practice of Science Based
Medicine and hence teach and practice
empiricism .
• There is a need of Continuing Professional
Development (CPD) that train faculties of
Ayurveda in all disciplines to teach SBM and
demonstrate applied SBM real time in clinical
practice.
4. Training on Science Based Medicine
• We developed science led methodologies and
standardised techniques needed to practice SBM,
published a book on the same ( Evidence Based Ayurveda
&Rational prescribing, 2012) and also teach them under a
programme developed by us with the objective of
scientific uplift of Ayurvedic physicians and faculties
termed SBEBA Wisdom series .
• The training programme is being conducted in different
parts of India and attended by faculties, physicians and
students of Ayurveda from all over India and abroad
5. The curriculum
• E -learning sessions are not initiated in this initial
period as most all doctors and faculties bear pre
conceived misled knowledge in Ayurveda and hence
require intense learning from the very base of basic
science by direct learning and workshops .
• The curriculum of our training defines specific learning
objectives for teaching and practice of Science Based
Evidence Based Ayurveda . Our programme
incorporates systematic practical methodologies for
decision making in clincial practice
6. NEED OF THE HOUR
• The curriculum will help to practice the very
intended standardised EBM in Ayurveda which
is primarily science based and help faculties to
also demonstrate their applicability to clinical
practice and physicians for effective
communication .
7. Proposal for national programme
• An official proposal for implementing SBEBA as
national programme is being sumitted to Ministry
of AYUSH and onc eit is taken up, the ultimate
outcome of the project will be a qualifiaction for
teaching SBEBA, which will be used by doctors,
hospitals and professional bodies of Ayureveda
governing research and education.
• There will be revolutionary progress and quality
improvement in Ayurvedic healthcare .
8. Review of clinical experiences by participants of training
programme of SBEBA
• Dear friends, I have attended 3sbeba seminars. After the first seminar itself I
changed my approach to patients. I stoped thinking about medicines. I tried to
diagnose the situation correctly and cut down the number of medicines. Most
recently, I have treated an acute low back pain. A 30yr normosthenic female
patient with sudden onset of low back pain on lifting weight. Pain was so severe
that she was unable to turn to sides in bed, head ache, small palpable swelling in
the low back region. Electric current like pain in back muscles. With a single day
medication with proper padhya, the patient was able to turn to sides in bed,
swelling subsided. Within next two days her pain subsided and she started her
normal work. Another case, with joint swellings, fever, lack of appetite and history
of rheumatoid arthritis. She is unable to move out of bed in early mornings. Above
all, condition was complicated with too much irrational and irrelevant ayurvedic
medications. I stoped all her medications and started a single medicine with
padhya, with two days her fever subsided and morning stiffness is reduced, she
was able to walk around in home with her daily activity. Now I am very happy and
proud to be an ayurvedic practitioner and I am realizing the importance of
“sathatha abhyasam”, continuous learning. SBEBA is a real platform to correct
myself by meeting a lot of enthusiastic scholars, discussions, brain teasers

9. • Hi friends
After attending SBEBA CME series conducted by Dr Rajkumar sir and Dr
Remyakrishna madam has changed my way of practice. A unique CME series, we
will not get such guidelines in any other CME s. Recently I have treated pt having
multiple joint pain with plueral effusion , after taking 3 months of ATT pt pleural
effusion fluid was not at all reduced and joint pain was as it was. When pt
approached me I stopped all modern medicine. After taking detailed history
I started amavishahara treatment, some medicated water and strict pathya. I was
surprised bcoz pt responded within 2 days of starting the treatment , pt multiple
joint pain, swelling and tenderness reduced , appetite improved and started doing
all his routine work, after 20 days I have started srotoshodhan treatment within
two weeks of srotoshodhan treatment plueral fluid reduced significantly compared
to previous x Ray, now recent x Ray showed only 25ml of fluid remained with
plueral thickningng with all blood parameters R normal. Only CRP is 9 mg/l
treatment is still continuing. Pulmologist opinion also taken , he said if you were
continued ATT drug joint were never cured because pyrizenemide will increases
joint pian, what ever you have done with your ayurveda treatment its good and
there is no secondaries lesions r there . like this I have treated many diseases. We
can treat the pts with very minimum medicine within in short days with low cost
effective only on OPD bases. Once just attend the seminar see the magic in clinical
practice , really a unique SBEBA CME series

10. • Dear doctors, I am doing PG AYURVEDA in SV Ayurveda college Tirupati.. I have
been practicing Ayurveda for d last 4 years using SBEBA guidelines for diagnosis
and management of diseases. By the virtue of sbeba I am using one or two
Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment..
I am here by sharing one of my clinical experience. My junior Pg scholar 25 aged
female doctor was having complaints like loss of appetite, tiredness, disturbed
sleep, unable to concentrate on anything, irregular bowel habits, irregular periods,
palpitation, drowsiness and heaviness of body. She was previously diagnosed as
hypothyroidism and was on allopathic medication - thyroxine -dose 25 mg for 1
year.. I had started treatment by immediate stopping of allopathic medicine and
give single pachana medicine& advised suitable diet[pathya]. Drowsiness,
heaviness were relieved , bowel become normal after pachana therapy.. Then I
continued the treatment by using deepana - sroto-sodhana kashaya. Day by day
her other complaints also relieved. Finally for stabilizing agni and for brumhana
medicated ghruta [vicharana sneha] was given. After one month lab report was
quite normal..
I am always indebted and thankful to God for blessing me with my Guru.
Dr.Rajkumar, who is guiding me to walk towards right direction..

11. • I attended all CME series and it is a wonderful
experience with mam and sir.It builds
confidence in practising Ayurveda.What to
do,How to approach,Our possibilities,Limits
are understood.And it again pave me to read
the texts and read between lines.Simplicity of
Science and the,its Application in patients are
getting now...I feel a lot to study before
practising. ( Dr. jasul Alingal, fresh
practitioner)
12. I got an opportunity to attend SBEBA seminar series and it has changed the way I practice.
Firstly I practiced it in my self and experience the change that it has made. It can do wonders.
Before attending seminar, I was not able to confidently predict the result of medicine. Now I
can tell them confidently, will explain their role, important of pathya etc. Recently I have an
experience of controlling an emergency condition in a patient. A male patient aged 45 year,
consulted with raised intra ocular pressure, after ppv done in both eyes following tractional
retinal detachment with burned out diabetic retinopathy. He was using nicardia retard,
telmisartan for controlling bloody pressure and glycomet for diabetes. At that time blood
pressure recorded was200/120mm of Hg and IOP was 34 mm in left eye and 16 in rt eye.
After using allopathic medicine also be remain high. Patient told that earlier also when BP
was not lowering after using medicine doctor had given sublingual tablets to control it. By
following SBEBA principles, I asked him to stop allopathic medicine and start a single
ayurvedic medicine in small dose in regular intervals for whole day, checked on same day
evening it was 180 /100mm and he was strictly on pathya. On next day the BP was
140/90mm.patient IOP was also reduced to 26mm and 19mm respectively. Face and feet of
the the patient which was swollen always became normal, heaviness in eyes also reduced
and vision improved. It was possible only because of SBEBA. Patient stopped taking allopathic
medicine for BP, and feel relaxed and active. SBEBA has to implement in our practice, it will
definitely change the present status of ayurveda and improve the health of society. Thank
you Remya mam and Rajkumar sir for the great effort. Thank you so much for introducing me
to SBEBA. ( Dr.Biji PB, Ayurvedic practitioner)
13. Dr.Remya and Dr.Raj is doing wonderful job in creating
awareness about practical application of Ayurvedic
Basic principles through their SBEBA programme.
This programme helps to develop the wisdom of
Ayurvedic professionals to take appropriate decision in
different patients depending on their state and stage
based on authentic Ayurvedic concepts.
This programme has certainly enhanced my
professional calibre and I must say that this is 'Save
Ayurveda campaign' as it is spreading genuine
Ayurvedic wisdom among Ayurveda fraternity at such a
time when it is much needed.
