Ayurvedic herbal formulations, deeply rooted in the ancient Indian system of medicine, utilize a variety of plant-based ingredients for disease prevention and health optimization. These formulations are grounded in the principles of balance and holistic wellness, which seek to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. A vast number of studies have highlighted the significant role of plant-based medicines in the management and prevention of diseases, with an increasing interest in their potential therapeutic applications. Ayurveda emphasizes the synergy between multiple herbs in a formulation, where the combination of plants enhances the efficacy of individual components. This article explores the mechanisms behind this synergy, investigating how Ayurvedic formulations work on a biochemical level to prevent diseases. A review of scientific evidence and traditional knowledge provides insights into the therapeutic properties of key herbs used in Ayurvedic formulations. This review also emphasizes the importance of understanding the individual roles of each plant in a formulation and the collective effects they impart in disease prevention. Given the global trend toward natural health solutions, this review also examines the challenges and prospects of integrating these traditional formulations into modern healthcare systems. The paper concludes with an analysis of the growing demand for herbal remedies, their place in integrative medicine, and the future of Ayurvedic formulations in disease prevention.
