All the above information regarding Ayurveda is for
information purpose only and to feel proud that our ancient knowledge was the
first and at the peak in ancient times.
What about Indian medicine today? In my personal opinion, I will not recommend
Indian medicine to anyone. The reason
for this is that most of the information is either lost or mixed up with many
unwanted factors and got polluted. For every one genuine Ayurveda doctor there
are hundreds of quakes.
Mixing up of all Indian medicines under one head has also probably
lead to its decline. There are degrees
offered in Indian medicine as ….. B.A.M.S., (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and
Siddha). Ayurvedic medicine are based on natural herbs only.
Whereas Siddha medicines use inorganic compounds and
metals…. Like sulphur, mercury, lead, gold ….etc., …….
This was known as Rasa vaadham and practiced by Rasa Vaadha Siddhas. Indian
medicine doctors prescribe both Ayurvedic and Siddha medicines and as a result
there are a lot of side effects.
A 2008 study of more than
230 products found that approximately 20% of remedies (and 40% of rasa shastra medicines) purchased over the Internet
from U.S.
and Indian suppliers contained lead, mercury or arsenic. In
2012 the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) linked Indian drugs to lead
poisoning, based on some cases where toxic materials were found.
