Ayurveda -3





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.
