Methodical documentation of all cases using modern diagnostic equipment to enable a factual presentation of the capabilities of Ayurvedic treatment to a wider professional community.

To bring this knowledge within a wider professional circle by organizing suitable training and extension programmes including publications.

Enable a factual presentation of the capabilities of Ayurvedic treatment to a wider professional community.
