This paper discusses the future research direction for integrative medicine. Structure of clinical methods and objective outcomes of biomedicine should be integrated for patient examination of Ayurveda. This helps to identify exact clinical features of the disease for selection of herbal formulations. Defining such a holistic clinical presentation is a prerequisite for patient selection before conducting reverse pharmacology studies. The latter will reveal underlying mechanisms of drug action and lead to 'holistic drug development'.
