Today is the 8th Ayurveda Day in India.
Here is a gentle reminder:
1. Ayurveda is a pseudoscience.
2. Ayurvedic practice is based on obsolete and primal theories of Vata, Pita and Kapha "imbalances" causing diseases.
3. Ayurvedic practitioners cannot diagnose, nor treat any disease condition known to humankind. If Ayurveda did work, then it meant that the disease was self limiting and would have improved even without Ayurveda.
4. Ayurveda uses a lot of herbal, mineral and metallic preparations in treatment, based on 2000 year old untested, faith-based practice written in a book that existed in the pre-scientific era.
PS: Ayurveda practitioners claim, that their "purification processes" makes metals less toxic, is utter nonsense. Their purification processes include boiling herbs and metals in milk and cow urine. That is hardly purification.
5. Ayurveda has a wellness component that can be used as an "experience" in medical tourism. However, such practices does nothing to health or disease conditions. Please come and enjoy the hospitality. Dont take anything internally.
6. Ayurveda practitioners study a pseudoscience for 5 years, spending lot of money and time. They ultimately deceive themselves first and then start deceiving patients to earn their bread and butter. They are in too deep and invested too much into this, so they will never speak against any negative aspects in Ayurveda even if they are shown facts.
7. Ayurvedic "medicines" are largely untested, unregulated and marketed on false claims and heavily promoted through advertisements. It has everything but scientific evidence in it.
8. Complementary and alternative medicine is now the largest cause for liver failure in those with pre-existing liver disease in Asia - [no] thanks to China and India.
9. Herbal supplements is the largest cause for increased rate of liver transplantation in the USA.
10. There is no approved, recommended or even remotely accepted traditional or proprietary Ayurvedic formulation or an Ayurvedic practice that features in any clinical disease management guideline or nutritional guideline in global medical literature, even after 2000 years of existence of Ayurveda and lakhs and crores of money spent on supposed "research"
"Ayurvedic treatments are like a box of chocolates. You will never know what you will get."
- if you are lucky, you will get benign herbs, if unlucky, you will exposed to dangerous toxic herbs and in the best-worst scenario, you will be feasting on arsenic and mercury like shown in this report below, of an approved Ayurvedic formulation, easily available in market and can be brought without a prescription. If you are an Ayurveda lover, enjoy tyhe wild ride.
Happy Ayurveda Day to you all.

My Dear North Indians,
Nithyananda should not be pronounced as Nithyanand. Kannada is not Kannad.
It is like calling Kangana as Kangan.
Thanks,
Your Curd Indian
