Ayurveda Association of Singapore (AAOS) was founded by a group of active and committed Ayurvedic doctors and enthusiasts who are interested in popularising and regulating this oldest healing science. What was mooted as an idea finally came into being with the official formation of the AAOS registered under the Society's Act of Singapore (Registration No: T09SS0026F).

The AAOS is a non-profit organisation and is a collective voice of Ayurveda and Traditional Indian Medicine (TIM) which includes Yoga, Unnani and Siddah medicine in Singapore.

AAOS’ members comprise not only of Ayurvedic doctors and practitioners but also those who are genuinely interested in all Traditional Indian Medicinal systems, be it for self-knowledge or for popularising this oldest medicinal science.

With a steady rise of Traditional Indian Medicines in Singapore, there is an increasing need for standardising and regularising these sciences to ensure the authenticity, quality, safety and efficacy.

The role of Singapore as a Traditional Medicine hub is evident since Singapore commendably has taken the lead in regulating and standardising Traditional Chinese Medicine system with great care for its quality and safety. Ayurveda and TIM can be the next step for Singapore. AAOS aims to work hand in hand with all relevant bodies in setting quality, safety standards in the product and service of Traditional Medicine in Singapore.

The AAOS aims to promote Ayurveda as an evidence-based science as well as to ensure that the authenticity of this knowledge is preserved in the pursuit of globalising this ancient healing system.
The mission of AAOS is multi-fold and has a global outlook:

• To regularise and standardise Ayurveda and Traditional Indian Medicines in Singapore.
• To popularise and increase the awareness of Ayurveda through public talks
• To promote Ayurveda as an evidence-based science
• To be the collective voice of those genuinely interested in Ayurveda and Traditional Indian Medicines in general
• To be the conduit for members and policy makers, statutory organizations and regulatory bodies in advocating standards and quality among Ayurvedic practitioners and manufacturers.
• To work closely with the relevant regulatory bodies, ministries and the government on matters relating to Ayurveda ,TIM its practice and medicine. This includes advising and warning the general public and the relevant authorities of malpractice of purported Ayurvedic and TIM practitioners and its related process.
• Make available to members of Singapore’s regulations, standards and quality pertaining to TIM products and services.

AAOS aims to achieve its objectives by conducting regular seminars, workshops talks and trade shows as well as work closely with relevant bodies in regulating Ayurveda in Singapore.
