This systematic process must involve serious research (i.e., development and evaluation). Ayurvedic-based lifestyle interventions) and behavioural change. This article explains the importance of Panchakarma therapies or procedures mentioned in Ayurvedic classical textbooks and their implementations to counter Non- Communicable Diseases. As a result, there is a greater goal to accomplish. Traditional knowledge of Ayurveda is found in actual practice that is useful for society. The aim is to explore and seek solutions or treatment options available in Ayurvedic classical texts for Non-Communicable diseases.
