The upshot of this is a student-centered outcome. Hence, systematical examination and analysis ofrecent advances in Ayurveda teaching and learning methods is the primary objective of this review. These modern methods complement traditional Ayurvedic teachings, providing students with a well-rounded education that combines ancient wisdom with contemporary technology.
