Dear All,
I came across the news came in the Times of India News Paper regarding the negative health impact of Ayurvedic medicine. Normally we consider Ayurvedic medicine as a safe but if it causes the harmful impacts then it is dangerous.
I know, somewhere it was written that there might be some mercury, lead, etc. in some of these Ayuredic medicine, which is require for some specific treatment, and that is also within the prescribe limit. but this is very surprising that the people who used the medicine for diabetic treatment caused them negative impact.
Really, "There is a strong need for stringent quality control measures to be in place for ayurvedic medicines." as Dr Aruna Dewan suggested.
