Various methods of treatment, called ‘medical systems’ coexist in the present world with different amplitude of popularity because every healthcare system possesses inherent limits that may also be present in other medical systems or complement it. The collaboration between other disciplines contributes to the progress of each medical system, enhancing its ability to effectively serve humanity. Furthermore, biotechnology has established a strong basis and evidence for advancing research and development in the medical domain, encompassing the enhancement of both the medical sector and the pharmaceuticals employed. AYUSH is not likely to flourish in isolation. The incorporation of biotechnology into the AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) system of medicine has significant potential to improve the effectiveness, safety, and standardization of treatments. This review explores the potential for transdisciplinary research between AYUSH and biotechnology. It also provides a critical assessment of the current state, challenges, and anticipation of biotechnological interventions in AYUSH. The review highlights significant advancements, limitations, and opportunities for collaboration between traditional knowledge and modern biotechnology.
