The present study aims to predict theoretically the efficacies of certain Foot Care Ayurvedic formulations including the modern patented and proprietary medicines by computing their respective Drug Efficacy Indices. Method: The efficacies of certain classical as well as proprietary Ayurvedic Foot care Formulations were theoretically calculated using a simple mathematical formula computed based on traditional and fundamental principles of Vedic Ayurveda. Results: The Drug Efficacy Indices of the selected formulations were numerically computed using an equation based on the dravyaguna vingnaneeya and categorized to corresponding pharmacological groups. Apart from these certain foot care formulations were theoretically designed using the developed computational methods and their corresponding Drug Efficacy Indices were computed and compared. Conclusion: The present study categorized the commonly used Foot care formulations according to their pharmacological activities. The present study also showed the practical application of Computer Aided Drug Designing (CADD) of two foot care formulations based on the classical principles of Ayurveda by effective incorporation of modern concepts like Artificial Intelligence to the most fruitful and simple manner.
