Centre Preps To Standardise AYUSH Products To Boost Exports

To increase international trade of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy) products, the Union government is standardising their quality. While four Indian standards have already been published on the Ayurvedic terminology glossary, the move will add other herbs including Ashwagandha and Giloya to the list. Moreover, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has proposed to the International Organization for Standardization for setting up a dedicated technical committee for AYUSH.
