Abstract:Â Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medical system, is one of the most important systems of alternative medicine. Due to its distinct unmatched concept, it is proven to be highly practical even in the current period of medicine. We can't find any field of current medicine that has explanations of sports medicine from two centuries ago, and the same is true of Ayurvedic literature. However, in this modern era of medicine, the discipline of medicine is becoming increasingly multidisciplinary by combining information from other professions. In contemporary medicine, the area of sports medicine has just recently evolved as a separate department. As a result, Ayurvedic practitioners began to use the term "sports medicine" and chose a number of traditional, time-tested formulas that were discovered to be acceptable for prescription for modern-day sports injuries. They also took many of the formulas and procedures used in many ancient martial arts schools and produced numerous contemporary medicaments based on them. This study tries to describe this new subject by mentioning historic formulations as well as current pharmaceuticals.
