00:00Ayurveda, a time-honored system of medicine originating from India, has been practiced
00:10for thousands of years and is recognized by the World Health Organization as a potentially
00:15valuable alternative medicine.
00:18However, there is a lack of rigorous clinical trials and comprehensive research reviews
00:23to definitively establish its effectiveness.
00:27Importantly, the absence of proven efficacy does not equate to safety.
00:32In fact, some practices within Ayurveda, like those in Reiki, Feng Shui, and traditional
00:38Chinese medicine, can pose significant risks.
00:42Skeptics argue that therapies labeled as ancient, energetic, natural, or quantum often lack
00:48scientific backing and can be misleading.
00:52Historically, the shift from traditional Chinese medicine to allopathic practices coincided
00:57with an increase in life expectancy in China, suggesting that modern medicine has its advantages.
01:04Concerns about the safety of Ayurvedic treatments were highlighted in a 1994 study, which revealed
01:10that 20% of Ayurvedic herbal medicines sold in Boston contained lead, mercury, or arsenic
01:16at levels exceeding U.S. safety standards.
01:22Users following prescribed dosages could be exposed to these toxic metals at levels 10,000
01:28times higher than those permitted for conventional medicines.
01:32On July 9, 2004, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 12 cases of
01:40lead poisoning linked to Ayurvedic medicine, with patients typically using these treatments
01:45for conditions like arthritis or diabetes.
01:49This issue is not new, for over a decade, hospitals in Mumbai have frequently encountered
01:55suspected cases of poisoning related to such practices.
01:59While the allure of natural remedies is undeniable, it is crucial to approach them with caution
02:05and informed skepticism.
