Ayurvedapedia is a free, open encyclopaedia of classical Ayurveda — built for Europe, by Ayurvedic doctors and scholars.
Our Mission
To make classical Ayurvedic knowledge accessible, accurate, and available in every major European language. Ayurvedapedia serves students, practitioners, researchers, and anyone curious about the world’s oldest continuous system of medicine.
What Makes Ayurvedapedia Different
• Classical source first — every entry references its original Ayurvedic text (Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanga Hridayam, Sahasrayogam, and others).
• Doctor-reviewed — all published content is written or verified by qualified Ayurvedic practitioners (BAMS or equivalent).
• Research-linked — where peer-reviewed studies exist, we cite them alongside classical references.
• Built for Europe — content is localised across 11 languages with EU-specific regulatory context.
Scope
Ayurvedapedia covers herbs and medicinal plants (800+ planned), classical formulations (1,200+ planned), Doshas and constitution, treatments and therapies, classical texts, daily practices, diet, anatomy and physiology, and modern research evidence.
The encyclopaedia is being built progressively. New entries are added regularly and all content passes editorial review before publication.
Independence
Ayurvedapedia is an independent, non-commercial project. There is no registration, no paywall, and no advertising. The project is free and will remain free.
