The Center of Applied Thai Traditional Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, has many responsibilities. The Center provides applied Thai traditional medicine education and related services, as well as the manufacturing of herbal medicines.

Another important responsibility is to conduct formal research and development for the purposes of advancing Thai traditional medicine and further promoting its acceptance and use among the Thai general public.

A new philosophy to develop Thai traditional medicine

Professor Dr. Ouay Ketusinh, a renowned professor of western medicine from the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, who believed that for Thai traditional medicine to be established in the health care system and become sustainable, Thai traditional medicine itself must have the potential to develop and that potential comes from Thai traditional practitioners who are not only professionally competent but also have knowledge of basic medical sciences similar to practitioners and other health-related professionals of western medicine. This field was later named Applied Thai Traditional Medicine to distinguish it from conventional Thai traditional medicine.

In 1930, Professor Dr. Quay Ketusinh set up a foundation under the patronage of the Supreme Patriarch and HRH Prince Maha Chakri Sirindhon, Later on, in 1982, he founded a school, named Ayurved-vldyalaya (Jivok Komarbhacc) to teach a three-year course in Thai traditional medicine based on his philosophy In 1934, an applied Thai traditional medicine clinic was set up to provide services in Thai traditional medicine and serve as a place where students could gain practical experience. The school also has a manufacturing unit to produce herbal medicine for the treatment of patients in the clinic. In 1998, the school was moved to Paholyothin 5 road and the name of the school was changed to Ayurved School.
