Abstract: Present article emphasizes scope and reliability of modern to ancient system of medicine. For better therapeutic success there is a need to integrate all existing systems of medicine under one umbrella to make better formulation for beating drug resistant microbes mainly diseases and infections. To replace outdated drugs both resistant, less effective and old system medicine there is a need to develop plant based herbal medicines for daily usage because chemical drugs are toxic in nature and impose long term cumulative side effects. Due to high costs chemical drugs are not easily affordable for millions of poor round the globe. Today human life is full of stress due to changes in behavioral environment and there is a rising trend of life style and communicable diseases with an alarming rate of inborn and neonatal morbidities related to obesity, diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disorders. There is a crying need of new more effective medicines in developing and under developed countries which could have low dosage, low cost and possess lesser side effects in comparison to synthetic drugs with high target specificity. There was felt a need of development of a more comprehensive medical system that can provide preventive, curative and rehabilitative healthcare to masses.
