Full Form of IJACAM
What is IJACAM?
IJACAM, or the Indian Journal of Ayurveda, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, is a peer-reviewed academic publication dedicated to advancing research in traditional and holistic healthcare systems. It primarily focuses on Ayurveda, one of India's ancient medical sciences, alongside other complementary and alternative modalities such as yoga, naturopathy, and herbal medicine. The journal serves as a platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share clinical studies, systematic reviews, and theoretical insights that validate or explore the efficacy of these therapies. First launched to address the growing global interest in integrative medicine, IJACAM is published quarterly and features articles from Indian and international contributors. Its content is widely used by Ayurvedic colleges, research institutes like the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS), and healthcare professionals seeking evidence-based knowledge. The journal also supports the Indian government's push to mainstream AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) systems through the Ministry of AYUSH. For students preparing for medical entrance exams or AYUSH-focused postgraduate courses, familiarity with IJACAM demonstrates an understanding of contemporary research trends in traditional Indian medicine. The journal maintains strict peer-review standards, ensuring published work contributes meaningfully to the scientific validation of age-old practices.
