This paper discusses the relationship between age and
perception of Ayurvedic medicine, giving special focus
to how various age groups engage with and perceive
Ayurveda in terms of its safety, scientific validity, and
availability. The study identifies generational
differences in the sources of information regarding
Ayurveda, which determines the old generation's
reliance on family and traditional networks and the
younger generations' reliance on digital media and
advertisements. The study goes on to discuss how age
has an effect on the scientific basis of Ayurveda, the
safety of the treatment, and the availability of
Ayurvedic services in urban settings. According to the
results, the attitude of the public towards Ayurveda is
strongly determined by age: older people believe in the
treatment's efficacy and safety more. The correlations
between age and the perceptions of both efficacy and
safety are weak; therefore, these perceptions seem to
be influenced by other factors, including cultural
beliefs, education, and access to modern healthcare
systems. The study carries important theoretical and
practical implications, such as the need for targeted
health communication strategies and marketing
tailored to engage different age groups. Further
research is recommended to explore the effects of
socio-economic factors, digital media, and cultural
variations on the adoption of Ayurveda across
generations. This research contributes to a broader
understanding of how traditional and modern medical
systems interact in shaping public health behaviors
